It’s starting to feel like summer in the high country.

Officials with the National Park Service on Friday announced that Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road in the United States, has reopened for the season.

The road climbs 12,183 feet, connecting visitors between the Estes Park entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park to the Winter Park entrance.

The road has historically opened in late May, according to the National Park Service, with the earliest opening on May 7, 2002, and the latest on June 26, 1943.

The park service reminds visitors to be prepared, as road conditions may be icy with freezing temperatures.

With the opening of the Trail Ridge Road section of the park, the park service has also opened its timed entry reservations, which are required to access the Trail Ridge Road section at certain times of the day.

There are two reservation options for RMNP, one for the Bear Lake Corridor and one for the Trail Ridge Road section. Visitors can reserve the Bear Lake Corridor from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m., or access the rest of the park via Trail Ridge Road via reservation from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
