The Park is beginning to re-open. Here is the official word:

Updated Wednesday, September 18, 10:30 AM

On September 18 at 10:00 a.m., Rocky Mountain National Park will begin to incrementally reopen. As conditions improve, additional road, trails and facilities will open. The following is a summary of the current situation:

Trail Ridge Road is open to both east and west bound visitor traffic. Since Highway 7 to Highway 72 to Hwy 119 is now open to all traffic, commercial traffic is once again prohibited on Trail Ridge Road. The town of Estes Park is once again open and welcoming visitors.

Since they mentioned Hwy 119, it seems like they've opened Boulder Canyon, though the CDOT site is not yet showing that.

A small improvement in the Estes Park situation.

P.S. This information probably deserves a new topic, so people don't see "Estes Park closed" in the subject. I'll do that.
