Rain and hail dumped across Colorado Wednesday night, leading to some flooding and piles of pebble-sized hail shutting down an Estes Park road.
It looked like a winter wonderland on a stretch of Elkhorn Avenue in Estes Park late Wednesday night after the hail piled into the street, making the road impassable for a period of time, according to the Estes Park Police Department.

The rain also impacted the Grizzly Creek, Cameron Peak and Four Mile burn scar areas. A flash flood warning was issued by the NWS for the Glen Haven, Storm Mountain and Retreat areas and the Gold Hill and Wallstreet areas. In Glenwood Canyon, I-70 was impacted with temporary closures for the Canyon bike path and Grizzly Creek and Bair Ranch rest areas that have since reopened, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
