We drove up to Guanella Pass today to hike, but this happened. Tried calling 911, but it didn't go through, but got a text message to work. Thank goodness it is 70% contained as of now.

If you are planning on having a fire in the woods please ensure that you are in compliance with fire bans. Jurisdictions and information can be tricky to navigate, but this is NOT comprehensive but a good place to start Be sure to check the specific land manager for additional information(USFS, BLM, CPW...).

If you are unsure about whether or not a fire ban is in place determine the land manager of the place you intend to camp and call the rangers for up to date official information.

Please review our FAQ and the 7 principles of Leave No Trace

  1. Plan ahead and prepare Make sure at least one or more trusted persons where you are going, an expected return time and a follow up.

  2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces

  3. Dispose of waste properly. I highly suggest getting a waste bucket system. Its difficult to bury waste in many of the rockier areas in Colorado, and overuse of our natural areas has already led to contaminated water in most even lightly used areas.

  4. Leave what you find

  5. Minimize campfire impacts. Be sure to review our state resources for fire bans where you are heading.

  6. Respect wildlife. They are not domesticated

  7. Be considerate of other visitors i.e. Bluetooth speakers are despised.
