The Maroon Bells stay open through Oct. 10 due to temporary funding, but key services remain closed amid the government shutdown.
The Maroon Bells scenic area remains open through at least October 10, 2025, due to a temporary federal exception allowing U.S. Forest Service staff to continue operations during the ongoing government shutdown.
While shuttle service and parking reservations are active, most facilities—including restrooms and the visitor center—remain closed, and no drinking water is available.
Officials warn the situation could change quickly if funding runs out, and a road closure is possible if staffing ends.
Visitors with reservations will receive refunds if access is restricted.
The area’s status depends on Congress reaching a funding agreement.
El Maroon Bells permanece abierto hasta el 10 de octubre debido a la financiación temporal, pero los servicios clave permanecen cerrados en medio del cierre del gobierno.
