Colorado Parks and Wildlife will offer veterans and active-duty military personnel, including reserve and National Guard members, free entry to state parks during August.
“We are very appreciative of Colorado’s military community and encourage them to take advantage of this offer to get out and enjoy the recreational opportunities within state parks,” said Bob Broscheid, CPW director.

Military-pass carriers are exempt from admission fees only. Other fees, such as reservations, fishing and camping, will apply and may require licenses and permits.
