Plan visits ahead of time. Many of our most popular places require a reservation or a day pass be purchased online in advance. Visit
Recreation.gov to find out how to reserve a pass or book a campsite. Use other official sources like the
USFS and
BLM websites,
COTREX (Colorado trail map app) and
COTrip.org (road conditions) to plan your trip and make yourself aware of current conditions/requirements. Look at the weather forecast as well as trail and trailhead information. Tell people where you’re going.
