Hi all, I am planning to go the Alluvian Fan next week during our visit to RMNP. I am planning to reach there late afternoon, around 5 pm with a 3 yrs old. Is it a good time to go there? Also, from the park map I think it is not a one way drive for Old River Fall Road but when I ask the direction I google map for way back to Estes Park it is asking me to drive all the way Old River Fall Road then returning by Trail Ridge/34/36. Also, the ORFR is not opened yet I think. Please let me know if I can return to Estes Park. Thanks.

Endovalley Road to the Alluvial Fan from highway 34 is a two way road and you can backtrack to highway 34 after visiting the Alluvial Fan. It is a google maps error that indicates you must travel Old Fall River Road to get back to highway 34. We actually discussed this on the TA Rocky Mountain National Park travel forum back in early November when you were planning this trip. If you want to look back, click on your screen name and all your posts on TA will come up.
Is the map on tripadvisor accurate as to where the Alluvial fan is located? It seems like after researching the Alluvial fan is located in a completely different place.

If you enter the Fall River Entrance to RMNP, the Alluvial Fan is about 3 miles from this entrance. You will see the right hand turn off highway 34 onto Endovalley Road. There is a sign. …

Is this area accessible now after the floods? Going in June 2015

That depends on what you mean by accessible. The paved trails that led from the east and west parking lots to the waterfall are no longer there. The road has been repaired. While some …
That depends on what you mean by accessible. The paved trails that led from the east and west parking lots to the waterfall are no longer there. The road has been repaired. While some of the flood debris between the road and what remains of the waterfall has been removed, the footing through this area is tricky as you must maneuver around downed tree trunks and rocks and boulders. The footing on the south side of the road (not the waterfall side) is a little better. If you saw this area before the September 2013 flood, the change is very dramatic and not for the better. For those of us who have such great memories of the Alluvial Fan before, it is hard to appreciate it as much now.
