The Spring Road Opening crew reached Pretty Rocks (Mile 45.4) this week! Due to the Pretty Rocks landslide, this is the farthest point west that will be plowed this year. Over the next few weeks, crews will continue to clear drifting snow and open up ditches. As always, please be aware of equipment and crews working on the road west of Mountain Vista if you are hiking or biking.
