Trails and roads reopened in popular Colorado state park after flooding

Heavy rain showers passed through Colorado's Douglas County on Saturday and caused enough flooding and erosion at a state park to force some major closures.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced on Saturday night that the entire trail system at Castlewood Canyon State Park near Franktown would be closed until further notice. They also said the west side of the park would be shut down because parts of South Castlewood Canyon Road were washed out.

On Sunday afternoon they annouced that all trails and roads were back open.
