GOOD NEWS… Gates will reopen to vehicle traffic on Saturdays and Sundays starting this weekend. Road has been temporarily patched but Monument Mesa is still under construction.
Construction on the new picnic facilities atop Monument Mesa remains frozen at about 70% complete. However, a hearing was held to break the contractual impasse that led to the contractor being back on site this week. A new construction schedule is pending.

The rain this week has reflooded the road. We are still moving forward to fix the road problems as soon as the puddles dry up. We hope to open the gate to vehicles by July 4th weekend.
Please stay out of flooded areas as they are likely contaminated.

The flooded roads have dried-up and we would ideally like to have the park entrance gate open by Memorial Day Weekend (weekends and holidays only), however a few things need to happen first.
- The flooded road below Yogurt Canyon has left some massive potholes in the road that would damage many vehicles. So we need to get those fixed as well as remove the mud/dirt that has accumulated. In order to do this we need our district heavy equipment operator to come fix this, unfortunately he also has projects that need to be done at other parks.
- The mud/dirt needs to be removed from the North/South section of the road that was flooded.
- Some maintenance is needed in the Monument Mesa lower parking lot horse trailer area and drainage areas.
- Repair construction fence on top of Monument Mesa and weed around existing picnic tables.
