San Juan National Forest is beginning to open seasonally closed roads.

Columbine Ranger District will begin opening low elevation roads April 29, with the exception of Hermosa Park Road 578. Upper elevation and backcountry roads will be opened June 1 or as conditions permit.

Visitors should be prepared to encounter system roads that are impassable because of snowdrifts, waterlogged roadbeds, down trees or other debris.
