Mount Herman Road closed

Heavy rains have led to the closure of a 6-mile stretch of Mount Herman Road in Pike National Forest.
The U.S. Forest Service said the rough road west of Monument was washed out by rain in the past week, and it will take a month to repair. A vehicle slid off the washed-out portion last week, causing serious injuries to the driver, officials said.
The road is closed to vehicles from Red Rocks Drive west to Forest Service Road 315. Foot, bicycle and horse traffic are allowed.
