Military, veterans offered free park entrance
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will offer free park entrance to active-duty military and veterans during August as a result of House Bill 15-1045.
Veterans and active-duty military personnel can obtain a military hang-tag pass valid for free admission during August by showing the parks staff one of the following: Active or retired military identification; DD Form 2765; DD214; Veterans Affairs medical card; or a current Colorado Driver’s License or state-issued identification card with the veteran seal printed on it. The hang-tag pass is valid when hung from the rear-view mirror of a service-member-occupied vehicle and admits all passengers of that vehicle.
