ROLLINS PASS ROAD STATUS | CORONA PASS ROAD STATUS
By far, our most popular and most accessed resource with thousands and thousands of views each year! The latest information about the Rollins Pass Road Status and road conditions are provided on this page—based on data aggregated from crowd-sourced information available and provided to Preserve Rollins Pass. Avalanche forecast data is provided courtesy of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC). This page is updated every week of the year and quite often, daily.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our second-most popular resource: your most frequently asked questions about Rollins Pass, the Moffat Tunnel, and much more are answered here by the authors! This page is updated frequently with new questions and answers.
ROLLINS PASS WEATHER
Rollins Pass weather, like many places in Colorado, changes constantly. We’ll walk you through how to interpret the data to make reasonable guesses as to how much snow you can expect on either side of Rollins Pass as well as what the current weather might look like before you head to the pass.
ROLLINS PASS MAPS
Satellite maps, wilderness maps, as well as USFS Motor Vehicle Use Maps for both sides of Rollins Pass (Corona Pass) are provided to inform the public.
LEAVE NO TRACE
Leave no trace, don’t pocket the past, and take care of the pass for the future.
OUTDOOR ESSENTIALS
While Rollins Pass showcases timeless beauty, its charm is accompanied by formidable challenges: treacherous winds, sudden weather shifts, rugged terrain, no amenities, and cellular dead zones demand careful preparation for any adventurer daring to explore its wonders.
CONTACT AN ARCHAEOLOGIST
Preserve Rollins Pass facilitates straightforward access to area experts, including archaeologists, who have a vested interest in preserving the heritage of Rollins Pass. Should any historic or prehistoric item be found on the pass, please leave the item in place (don’t pocket the past) and fill out the form on this page or email [email protected], and your message will be forwarded to area experts, including professional archaeologist Dr. Jason LaBelle.
DRONE REGULATIONS
Drones or unmanned aerial systems (UAS) provide a magical view of the world from above, yet the joys of flight and flying a drone need to be coupled with adherence to regulations set forth by both the US Forest Service (USFS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Do not rely on your drone to tell you if you are allowed to fly at a particular location or in a specific area. Use Aloft Air Control (available for iOS, Android, as well as a stand-alone web application) or the Air Aware app (iOS, Android, or web app) before taking off to ensure the airspace isn’t closed by a TFR, wilderness, or for other reasons. It is your responsibility to safely and compliantly fly your drone for the benefit of continued access with drones in the national airspace.
FIRE INFORMATION & RESTRICTIONS
Help Preserve Rollins Pass by following common sense rules on fire safety; be sure you know when and where you can have campfires or if you need to pack your camping stove on the next trip to the pass.
The primary purpose of our work is to inform the public.
