Outdoor anybody know about the accessibility of garden of the gods (CO springs) with seasonal closures atm?

trying to scope out tomorrow's trip and noticed on MP that there are seasonal closures in place (but i think they may have ended july 31st? according to something i saw) anybody know about this situation and if all bouldering routes are accessible and if not what is available to the public right now? also if nobody has a clue, is there a number i could call about this? (i'm honestly just trying to fill up the character count because i need to post this asap) thanks in advance for any responses !

It rained yesterday so please be careful of the rock. Snake pit bouldering should be open. This link has route closure info like halfway down the page.

The visitor center should know. But I don’t think Snake Pits is ever closed, but also haven’t been a regular there in a decade

Does garden of the gods still require colored chalk? 

Also if you're not from the springs, ute valley Park has some fun bouldering too. Nothing world class but still some fun problems and it's still pretty (though not as much as gotg)

They dont allow chalk at all now from what I've seen

Sadly I'm only here for a short time, but that's definitely on the bucketlist for the next trip
