The San Juan National Forest announced Tuesday that with snowfall in the forecast, the forest will close some gates soon in the Dolores District, including the Boggy Draw, Haycamp Mesa, West Mancos and Millwood areas.

“Even if snow levels are not very deep, many roads will be closed to prevent damage to road surfaces during freezing and thawing periods,” spokeswoman Ann Bond said in a news release. “Travelers should always be prepared for winter conditions and travel with shovels, tire chains and appropriate safety equipment necessary for winter conditions,” she said.
