Since August is the prime month for them to get these projects underway and completed, there will be traffic inpacts in various areas of the park. Plan your trips accordingly.

Thom,thanks.

We changed our trip plans and will go see the eclipse first, then come to Colorado. Since school will have started there we hope that will cut down, a little, on the crowds during the week.

I'm going to post a new thread with some of the routes the Good Sam trip planner chose for us to see what you and others think.

Late August/Early September might be a good time, as most schools here will in fact be back in session, and it's before the fall colours/elk rutting season. Later in September and October will be an absolute madhouse up in the Estes Park/East side for Rocky area, if it's anything close to last season. Attendance records were broken in both months last year.
