President Trump's first 100 days

  • President Donald Trump completed his first 100 days in office in early 2025, during which significant federal workforce reductions occurred, affecting national parks across the United States.
  • These reductions followed a hiring freeze starting January 20, 2025, and February directives requiring large-scale layoffs and agency reorganizations to reduce government size and spending.
  • Within this period, Black Canyon of the Gunnison lost 27 employees, including 10 laid off on February 14, while Rocky Mountain National Park cut about a dozen staff, raising concerns about operational impacts.
  • Sheridan Steele, former Black Canyon superintendent, stated there was "no consideration" to maintain operations during cuts, and Scott Cundy said, "People make mistakes when they're understaffed," highlighting staffing challenges.
  • Though uncertainties about long-term effects remain, some gateway town businesses like Estes Park report cautious optimism with minimal immediate impact, while national park officials and observers worry about future service quality.
