The ongoing waterline installation project has reached a significant milestone with over 75% completion. This closure marks an important step in crossing a major roadway within the park, which will help minimize future road closures. Progress is also being made on an ADA trail connecting Parking Lot 4 to Central Garden.

Looking ahead, on Wednesday, Feb. 26, the Columbia Road entrance into Garden of the Gods will close, impacting the Stausenbach and Scotsman trails until the end of April. Trail users are advised to follow posted detour signs during this time.
