Hunters who plan to go to the Taylor Park area for the 2017 big-game seasons are reminded that the Cottonwood Pass road is closed west of the summit in Gunnison County.

Labor Day DUI enforcement cracking down on impaired drivers
With the unofficial end of summer upon us this weekend, the Colorado Department of Transportation and Colorado State Patrol encourages everyone to plan a ride if your Labor Day celebrations include consuming alcohol or marijuana.
The Labor Day weekend will be hot and dry across most of Colorado, though the eastern plains will see the first hint of fall Tuesday.
Eastern Colorado
An upper ridge building from the east Saturday will result in highs in the upper 80s to low 90s across eastern Colorado through the holiday Monday. Drier air will limit the potential for rain to mainly mountain areas where isolated afternoon and evening light rain is possible.
Northeast Colorado may see smoke in the air Saturday from fires in Montana.
