Spring snowplowing and maintenance are underway at Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, but the road is now partially open to pedestrians and cyclists.
Park roads like Generals Highway, Trail Ridge Road, Going-to-the-Sun Road, Skyline Drive, and the Blue Ridge Parkway take us through and to many amazing locations which we might not otherwise be able to access – at least, not without a long and perhaps arduous backcountry hike.
Cutting 60 positions from a 2.5-million member civilian workforce might not seem like much, but in Alaska the loss of those National Park Service employees could have devastating effects.
