Rocky Mountain National Park's Fall River Entrance To Get Fast-Pass Lane

Share

A fast-pass lane will be added to the Fall River Entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park in a bid to reduce lines at the entrance station. It will be open to pass-holding visitors as well as employees and emergency vehicles. 

The Fall River Entrance is one of two major entrance stations on the east side of the park and is located on U.S. Highway 34, just inside the park boundary.

Along with the fast-pass lane, the existing entrance and exit lanes will be reconfigured, all existing buildings with be replaced with newly constructed ones that have updated equipment and systems for ventilation and technology. The project also is expected to improve the accessibility of all entrance facilities there, and adds new parking spaces and pedestrian paths.

The park will also develop an interpretive wayside exhibit at Sheep Lakes Overlook to depict the developmental history of the Fall River Entrance Station Area. Keeping the current configuration of existing buildings will minimize impacts on the Fall River Entrance Historic District.

Good move. Let's hope the results can be evaluated and perhaps this can be used elsewhere in the system.

i think ACAD was doing something similar
