In the third year of a “temporary pilot program” imposing a timed entry reservation system at Rocky Mountain National Park, superintendent Darla Sidles says she is hoping a “final plan” can be implemented in 2024.
“We’ve learned a lot in those three years,” Sidles said in an interview last week. “We’re now looking at, how do we deal with this in the long-term? You can’t continually do pilot .”Darla Sidles, superintendent of Rocky Mountain National Park, says officials are seeing “greater public acceptance” for the park’s timed entry reservations system “as people begin to understand why we’re doing it and the need for it.
If all goes according to schedule, the “final plan” would be implemented in 2024, Sidles said, adding that park officials have been seeing “greater public acceptance” as people understand the system and the reasons behind it better.
