National Park Timed Entry Reservations
The opportunity came up for me to visit Colorado next week, so naturally I figured I’d visit RMNP, and maybe do some hikes in the Bear Lake area, which I’ve done many times in the past. So, checking it out, discovered this timed entry reservation bullshit.
So I can, in fact get a reservation on days next week, but only at 4PM. Well, that sucks. Oh, well…

Just to clarify… it’s not like it’s the middle of summer. It’s fucking October. Kids are in school. Parents are back at work. I can’t get into the park any earlier than 4PM in the middle of the week???
Seems like a little over control at this point.. Yeah, I know, this is probably not news to most of you guys. End of rant.

Or you could drive in before they open.

Protecting places from people should be prioritized over protecting places for people. I fully support any and all efforts to throttle back the number of people who have access to these places.

Every day at 5pm they release more tickets for the following day. Just set an alarm and you'll get the tickets you want.
Edit to add: Make sure you have account set up ahead of time.

Apparently, from what I've heard, might just be hearsay, might be true, but I cannot totally confirm, but maybe, just maybe, there are hikes outside of RMNP. I know, it seems unlikely, so maybe there's some locals on here who can confirm.
Kinda sad, but I never even consider national parks as places to visit any more.

Tourist dumbass complains there are too many tourist dumbasses, but blames government for not opening floodgates. If floodgates were opened, he’d blame everyone but people like him.

^^ When my Grandparents moved from Iowa to homestead up near Steamboat back in the 1920s, they crossed the Rockies in their Model A using the Fall River Road. So, there’s kind of a family connection, I guess.

Fortunately, RMNP is so much bigger than Bear Lake Rd.
Go elsewhere before 9am and enjoy.

Ok thanks for clarifying that. Hope you get your preferred entry time when they open those up.
