Nearly nine months after the East Troublesome Fire ignited and wrecked havoc inside Rocky Mountain National Park and other parts across the state, more trails damaged by the fire have reopened.

Crews have worked endlessly removing down trees, replacing and repairing bridges and trail stabilization materials since the second largest fire in the state’s history was fully contained in late November.

Trails that recently reopened include:

• North Inlet Trail
• Fern Lake Trail
• Mill Creek Basin area, including Hollowell Park Trail to Bierstadt Lake and Mount Wuh/Steep Mountain junction from Cub Lake Trail

These areas specifically experience great impact from the fire and visitors should be aware of additional hazards in burns areas such as burned-out stump holes and unstable dead trees, loose rocks, logs and rolling debris, park officials said in a release.

Currently, 94 people are working inside the park at its burn areas to repair and revitalize the areas for state residents and visitors alike.

Individuals assisting in the revitalization are park trail crew members, the National Park Service Southeast Utah Group, National Park Service, Rocky Mountain Conservancy Fire Corp., Larimer County Conservation Corp. and Rocky Mountain Youth Corp.
