As of today, Rampart Range Road and the trail system at Rampart have been
reopened!
The State Trail Crew hauled out over 1000 down trees and they are still working.
As always, use caution as there are probably lots of unexpected obstacles out
there, as well as the possibility of crews still on the trails. If you find a
problem, please try to minimize your impact and don't head off in to the woods
to get around it.
These fallen trees were cleared by Forest Service on 11/07/05. Please let me know of any other trees that need to be cleared from Rampart trails. Thanks, Ron...
