Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Trail Ridge Road Rainbow Curve & Forest Canyon - Day 4 of 5
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Trail Ridge Road Rainbow Curve & Forest Canyon - Day 4 of 5.
Rainbow Curve is one of my favorite overlooks. It has some of the best views of the park.
What you can see (Horseshoe Park):
The distinctive fan of light-colored boulders on the left of this picture is a relatively new feature on the land. A high mountain dam failed on July 15, 1982, and in a matter of hours the water violently disgorged it load on the valley floor.
What you can see from Rainbow Curve:
1 Mount Chapin (12,454)
2 Mount Chiquita (13,069)
3 Ypsilon Mountain (13,514)
4 Mount Fairchild (13,502)
5 Hagues Peak (13,560)
6 Mommy Mountain (13,425)
7 Roaring River
8 Bighorn Mountain (11,463)
9 McGregor Mountain (10,456)
10 Deer Mountain (10,013)
“Rainbow Curve, 12.8 miles from the Beaver Meadows park entrance, lies on the outside edge of a wide switchback on Trail Ridge Road as it swings around a blunt ridge between Hidden Valley and Hanging Valley. This major viewpoint at 10,829 feet is just below timberline, the transition zone between a subalpine fir and spruce forest and the alpine tundra of grass and delicate wildflowers. The vista looks down on Horseshoe Park, an open grassy valley floored by twisting Fall River. Note the light-colored alluvial fan on the north side of the park. It formed in 1982 when Lawn Lake, a small reservoir in the Mummy Range, broke after heavy rain. A deluge of water, boulders, and debris swept down into the valley.”
Just beyond the flower covered meadow lies Forest Canyon and the Continental Divide with Mount Ida. This picture, taken at high noon, shows the problem of photograph trees at this time of day. Photographs taken in the early morning or late afternoon would render the trees a truer green.
Tundra Protection Area
Hundreds of feet cause damage that takes hundreds of years to restore.
PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL!
The Glacial Landscape
Like other high mountain valleys, Forest Canyon was filled with ice and shaped by glaciers during the past two million years. Here, ice flowed through a stream valley and followed the straight line of the ancient faults. Side valleys contributed their own rivers of ice, and carved the canyons of Hayden Gorge and Gorge Lakes The Rolling terrain of the high country was untouched by glacial ice.
What you can see:
1 Longs Peak (14,255)
2 Stones Peak (12,922)
3 Spraque Mountain(12,713)
4 Hayden Spire
5 Hayden Gorge
6 Terra Tomah (12,718)
7 Mt Ida
8 Gorge Lakes

Rocky Mountain National Park and Trail Ridge Road
Enjoy this CBS News 4 report on beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park and Trail Ridge Road
Rocky Mountain National Park - Trail Ridge Road - 2019 Opening Day - 1
Rocky Mountain Nation Park Snow Removal on Trail Ridge Road
Every year, Rocky Mountain National Park snowplow operators begin plowing Trail Ridge Road in mid April. Crews from the west side of the park and crews from the east side of the park move along the road and eventually meet near the Alpine Visitor Center. This happened yesterday! Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous paved highway in the United States reaching an elevation of 12,183 feet.
This year, snowplow operators have encountered less snow on the west side of the Continental Divide and average snow pack on the east side. Park plow operators have dealt with days of low to no visibility, wind, drifting snow and icy road conditions
Weather permitting, we are continuing to work toward opening the road on Friday, May 22, but we'll see what the next week brings. Sunshine makes a big difference in helping plow operators tackle the road!
Enjoy the following photos and video taken by park staff on this year's operations to open the road!
