Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke visited Rocky Mountain National Park last weekend with what he heralded as help for the national parks.

He announced he wants to allocate $53 million toward maintenance needs in national parks, including $200,000 for the alluvial fan trail in Rocky, destroyed in the 2013 flood.

But in 2016, Rocky Mountain National Park documented $75 million in deferred maintenance needed.

The park system as a whole had $11.3 billion in needs, according to National Park Service reports. About half of the total is in needs to paved roadways and bridges, the rest for repairs to other facilities.

The $200,000 the interior secretary is offering Rocky will be matched with another $200,000 from the Rocky Mountain Conservancy to replace the trail that once went over the debris field left after the 1982 Lawn Lake flood to give visitors a close-up look at the damage floods can do.
