    I got this a few days ago from Recreation.gov (likely because I have a permit nearby in a couple of weeks):

    ALERT! A rockslide has impacted the upper portion of the Pawnee Pass Trail west of the Divide, presenting a significant route finding challenge and potential rockfall danger. The 2-3 switchbacks 50 feet below the top of the pass have large rocks completely obscuring the path. Workaround routes are sandy and unstable. Use extreme caution or pick an alternate trail.

    If you don’t know this trail, it is a main trail across the Divide and really beautiful. PMags has some nice descriptions here. Having been on that section of trail a good number of times, I would not try to work around it, although it would be a 3rd-class scramble rather than a climb. I expect it may take a while for it to get put back together.
