In-Depth Information
Highway 93 parallels the Vermilion River.
Even if you never leave the highway, the scarred hillsides from wildfires that swept
through the park in 2001 and 2003 will be obvious. The fires jumped the highway in places,
burnt bridges and information booths, and forced the closure of some trails because of the
danger of falling trees; check at local information centers for the latest updates.
Day-use areas, a gas station and lodge, and three campgrounds are the only roadside ser-
vices inside the park; Radium Hot Springs, at the junction of Highways 93 and 95, is the
park's main service center. The park is open year-round, although you should check road
conditions in winter, when avalanche-control work and snowstorms can close Highway 93
for short periods of time.
