WHAT! I am going to Rocky Mountain National Park in June. We already have our plane tickets bought and our hotel (right outside of the park) booked.

This wouldn't be our first vacation where we had to make a sudden destination change. Hopefully, everything works out.

It would only be closed until the government can get there act together and come up with a budget. It would not be closed permanently

I am sure it will work out, if not, Colorado has tons of other places to visit

The whole sate is gorgeous!

My dad said that it will be all cleared up by June so we should be fine. Good to know we won't have to break into the park.

Well this sheriff is saying he will keep it open despite a goverment closure, he ROCKS !

Yeah but U.S. government < County sheriff, so I don't think he has much of a choice. But I guess it will just be closed for the duration of the closure, and that shouldn't last that long....
