Harper's Corner Road won't be open quite as early as Dinosaur National Monument officials had hoped. The road is traditionally open by Easter weekend, but crews were trying to get it open earlier. This year's heavy snowfall is making that impossible, as crews have run into areas of snow that are over 6 feet deep, with a 1 foot layer of ice underneath. They're still trying to get the road open by Easter weekend, with a goal of April 22nd. Those hiking in the monument need to be aware of the wet and unstable condition the trails are in, and be prepared for rapidly changing weather.
