trail ridge road

If you're planning to visit Rocky Mountain National Park or Trail Ridge Road this weekend, expect traffic -- like, more than usual.

High winds and 5ft snow drifts force the road's closure.

Visitors snapped photos of just how much snow is up at Trail Ridge Road right now, and it looks pretty incredible.

Trail Ridge Road is still buried under several feet of snow.

Just another reason to be grumpy about Mother Nature's grip on the Rockies. Though bikes and pedestrians will be able to access parts of the road, no vehicles.

You'll have to wait til next year to go on Trail Ridge Road.

One of the most scenic drives on the planet is one that you have to wait to enjoy.

Fritz Prehn of Golden, Colo., took a flight over the Great Divide and captured these amazing photos over the Rocky Mountain National Park.
