Colorado Storm Strands Tourists
Eight cars holding 5 to 30 tourists were stranded on Trial Ridge Road at the 12,100 foot Continental Divide level as a summer blizzard lashed eastern Colorado. Chief Ranger Barton Herschler said plows were working toward Estes Park about 18 miles away and expected to open the road in a few hours. Snow, rain, hail and high winds caused 1 to 2 foot drifts, but motorists faced no serious hardships as engines ran to prevent freezing amid 15 degrees above zero.
