Slow and steady, road crews are making progress on roads washed out from the heavy rains on September 22nd. Dinosaur National Monument alone had 5 large culverts washed out on the Island Park Road which has now reopened with restrictions. High clearance four wheel drive vehicles are still recommended for travel on the road and the fork to Ruple Ranch remains closed at the overlook while the Rainbow Park fork is now open to the campground and boat ramp. Road crews from Rocky Mountain National Park and the Uintah County Roads Department labored with the maintenance staff at Dinosaur National Monument to get the road back in working order, much to the pleasure of avid campers hoping to capitalize on the last days and weeks of camping within Dinosaur National Monument.
