RMNP just posted a press release that major trail work at the Alluvial Fan and Horseshoe Falls will require closing this area beginning on July 27 through September 24, 2020. This area will be closed on weekdays and weekends. Materials and equipment will take up most of the parking on the west side, and the east side parking lot will be closed. The west side parking area will be further limited in September due to an exclosure fence project. This is such a popular area. The planning and trail work has been ongoing and is needed to repair damage and replace trails and the bridge that were destroyed in the September 2013 flood. It is amazing to realize that such a beautiful area was created by and reshaped by devastating floods in 1982 and 2013. I still feel the area was even more beautiful before the 2013 flood. It will be interesting to see the changes when all the trail work is complete. The Google map location shown for the Alluvial Fan area on this TA listing is in the wrong place. I have reported and tried to get that corrected to no avail.
