Spring is slowly waking back up at Kenosha Pass 🌿

With today’s rain and snow moving through the mountains, Park County will only get greener in the coming weeks. Fresh growth is already starting to spread across the hillsides, and the changing season is bringing new color back to the high country.

This quieter time of year is perfect for scenic drives, fresh mountain air, and soaking in the views before the busy summer season arrives. 📸
