I accepted a new job and don’t start til midmonth. Booked a flight to Denver and Turo to go clear my head for a few days next week. I haven’t been since this new Vehicle Registration and Online Reservations stuff began. It looks to me like it doesn’t all start until Memorial Day but I don’t want to be left holding the bag. Any way, I’ve hiked all over the East side of the park and stayed in Estes plenty but heading to the West side this go round. Any advice on new rules/regulations to watch out for and good hikes/campgrounds is much appreciated.

Much of the park and especially the west side will be under several feet of snow. You best have snow shoes and spikes if you’re hiking.
Timber creek is only campground on the west side. It’s closed til summer.
I’d rethink this if you’re wanting to camp and hike.

All backcountry campsites should be available via walkup or recreation.gov.

See the trail reports on NPS.gov/romo website.

I'll be there in three weeks
