Rocky Mountain National Park was under a full fire ban as of Monday due to fire activity across the state and weather conditions.

Also Monday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued an emergency closure for all public access and downstream recreation on the Colorado River from Fruita to Utah.

The national park is always under Stage 1 fire restrictions, prohibiting campfires except those within designated campfire rings in picnic areas and campgrounds. Fireworks are never allowed in the park.

On Monday, park officials issued a Stage 2 fire ban, prohibiting campfires everywhere, including charcoal briquette fires, according to a news release.

It will be in effect until further notice.

Smoking is also prohibited in Rocky Mountain National Park, except within an enclosed vehicle or in a developed paved area without vegetation for at least 3 feet, the release said.

Park officials urged visitors to properly extinguish all lighted smoking materials and dispose of them properly.

The Colorado River is closed to access and recreation starting at James M. Robb Colorado River State Park and extending to the Utah state line, a CPW news release Monday said.

Prohibited activities include rafting, kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding. Anyone boating the Colorado River is encouraged to end their float in Grand Junction at the Blue Heron boat launch or farther upstream, the release said.

The closure is intended to keep the public safe and help firefighting efforts for the Snyder fire, which continues to burn just southwest of Fruita.

It is expected to stay in place through Fourth of July weekend. Entering a closed area can result in fines, citations and trespassing charges.

The Bureau of Land Management has also closed McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area. Horsethief State Wildlife Area and Loma Boat Launch State Wildlife Area are also closed to the public. Canyonlands National Park in Utah just closed, as well as the Needles Visitor Center due to the Babylon fire.
