Does anyone have an update or most reliable site to go to for what is and what isn’t open, especially in CCC and Boulder Canyon? I see some posts from a week ago but not since the snow (hoping that helped). Thanks!

Not sure how quickly this will be updated when things change, but here's a good summary:

I don't believe any closures have changed or been lifted since the snow.

Did I?  RMNP needed reservations this summer but lumpy did not.  So it is not as black and white as you say.  RMNP requires a paid admission. Lumpy does not. 

But I assume with covid and wildfires you havent left your basement in a couple months.

??? The RMNP website and signs on the road to Lumpy trailhead were quite clear that reservations were required for Lumpy Ridge (and all other outlying areas of the park).

If the election doesn't go the way Team Blue thinks it will, everything will be on fire.

North Table has a ton of climbing and has warm/sheltered areas when it's cold/windy out.

Actually, I believe there were stipulations for some areas that no permit/reservation was required IF you arrived within certain time parameters so you very well could have been keeping well within the guidelines
