FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Start the year off on the right foot with First Day Hikes at a Colorado state park.

Celebrate 2019 with First Day Hikes
DENVER - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is pleased to welcome a new year by once again participating in First Day Hikes. Over 30 events are scheduled in state parks across Colorado on New Year’s Day as part of America’s State Parks First Day Hikes initiative. CPW invites you to ring in 2019 by spending your day outside at a Colorado state park.
“Since 2012, state parks across Colorado and the nation have offered hikes on January 1st to encourage individuals and families to begin the New Year with a rejuvenating and healthy hike at their local state park,” says Crystal Dreiling, Trinidad Lake State Park Manager. “Led by park staff or volunteers, First Day Hikes encourage outdoor exploration and enjoyment as a healthy lifestyle choice, while at the same time remind the public that outdoor recreation can be enjoyed year-round!"
Coloradans can find a nearby First Day Hike by visiting the Colorado Parks and Wildlife First Day Hikes web page , or by locating an event on the stateparks.org website. First Day Hikes was created to offer everyone an opportunity to begin the new year rejuvenating and connecting with the outdoors at a state park close to home.
After joining the national program in 2012, each new year has seen growth in the number of Colorado state parks participating in the program. This year, visitors can look forward to enjoying hikes and walks at more than 25 participating state parks. Visitors participating in First Day Hikes will be able to start the year off on the right foot by spending the day in some of Colorado’s most spectacular nature.
Hikers can expect to enjoy winter landscapes with striking views, and in some parks, benefit from the company of a knowledgeable state park guide. Hikes will range from fun walks to more challenging 6-mile hikes throughout the park, and even an 11-mile hike if you are feeling up to the challenge. Many parks will also be providing light refreshments to warm up after your winter adventure. All hikes are free of charge, but visitors must possess a valid annual or daily parks pass to participate.
In 2018, nearly 55,000 people rang in the New Year with First Day Hikes, collectively hiking over 133,000 miles throughout the country on the guided hikes. Many others hiked state park trails throughout the day, taking advantage of the resources America’s state parks have to offer.
This year, begin your New Year by creating a connection to nature in a Colorado state park. Spending time outdoors is good for the body and mind, and has the ability to lift moods and leave us feeling more creative. With a variety of hikes in ability level and length, First Day Hikes are the perfect activity to begin your year on the right note. Remember to dress for the winter weather with lots of layers, and to bring water and snacks for the journey!
Whether planning to participate in a First Day Hike, reserving a spring campsite or scheduling hunter education courses, you can start your 2019 outdoor adventures by visiting cpw.state.co.us .

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2019 brings new fees, new park pass options for Colorado's 41 state parks.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife modifies fees, offers new annual pass option for state park visitors
Denver -- Colorado Parks and Wildlife will modify its state parks entrance fees beginning Jan. 1, 2019 as a result of the passage of Senate Bill 18-143 in May. This is the first increase to park entry fees since 2010. Based on visitor feedback, CPW will also begin offering a hangtag park pass option that will be tied to an individual instead of a vehicle, allowing an individual to use the hangtag when he or she is present in any vehicle of their choice.
The revised fee structure approved by the Parks and Wildlife Commission allows the agency to address increased operating costs, provide adequate staffing, and fulfill property maintenance needs to continue providing quality programs and services while managing an increasing number of park users. Ten key goals have been identified for the agency as a result of this increased funding.
“The additional fees will serve to enhance all aspects of the visitor experience in Colorado’s 41 state parks,” said Margaret Taylor, CPW assistant director for capital, parks and trails. “We are committed to providing a fun, safe and rewarding experience for every visitor. Through funding larger capital projects to smaller on-the-ground programs, these dollars help us better serve both the public and our resources.”
Effective Jan. 1, 2019, the park entrance fee schedule will adjust to the following:
Daily Vehicle Pass $8 - $9
At Cherry Creek, Chatfield, and Boyd Lake State Recreation Areas, and Eldorado Canyon State Parks each daily vehicle pass is $9
Individual Daily Pass $4
Applies for any person entering Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area , Barr Lake, Crawford, Colorado State Forest State Park, Eldorado Canyon, Elkhead Reservoir, Harvey Gap, Highline Lake, James M. Robb - Colorado River, Lory, Pearl Lake, Rifle Gap, Rifle Falls, Stagecoach, Steamboat Lake, Sweitzer Lake, Sylvan Lake, Trinidad Lake, Vega and Yampa River State Parks, except those entering the park in a motor vehicle with a valid annual parks pass or state parks annual hang tag pass.
Annual Affixed Vehicle Pass $80
Annual Affixed Multiple Vehicle Pass $40 per vehicle
Annual Affixed Vehicle Replacement Pass $5
Aspen Leaf Annual Pass (ages 64+) $70
Aspen Leaf Annual Multiple Pass (ages 64+) $35 per vehicle
State Parks Annual Hang Tag Pass $120
State parks annual hang tag passes are issued to individuals, not vehicles. Only one vehicle at a time can use an annual hang tag pass.
State Parks Annual Hang Tag Replacement Pass $60
Dog Off-leash Daily Pass $3
Dog Off-leash Annual Pass $25
The price of the annual Columbine Annual Pass and Centennial Annual Pass will remain $14 per pass, and commercial daily pass costs also remain unchanged in 2019.
“We’re very happy that in 2019 we can address the request from our visitors for a hangtag pass. This is a great option for multi-car families or those who use different vehicles for different activities,” said Taylor. “We’ve also added 13 parks to our Individual Daily Pass, or ‘walk-in’ pass, program to help us engage more of our visitors into funding and conservation efforts.”
All annual passes, including the hangtag pass, will now include a separate product panel that qualifies as an individual daily pass for parks listed above. Park visitors purchasing the hangtag pass online or with external sales agents will receive their printed pass, and will be able to pick up the hangtag on their first visit to any state park.
"Individual daily passes are a great option for a visitor who may be entering one of our recreation sites without the use of a motorized vehicle," explained Rob White, park manager at Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA). "For half the cost of a daily park pass for vehicles, people that bike, hike, horseback ride or boat into one of our sites can use our facilities, meet friends for a picnic, and enjoy the river and the spectacular scenery found within the AHRA. Annual pass holders will also benefit from the additional product panel now printed as part of their annual pass. This panel will serve as their individual daily pass allowing someone to quickly show proof of a required park pass when needed."
State parks in Colorado have experienced record-breaking visitation, with nearly 15 million visitors last year. Since 2010, state parks have not received funding from state general tax dollars except occasional small amounts (less than one percent of the budget) for special projects, meaning CPW relies on park fees to make needed improvements, hire staff and begin planning for Colorado’s next state park.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fifteen more state parks will join reservation-only camping in January.

15 more Colorado state parks to join reservation-only camping in January
DENVER, Colo. - Starting in 2019, it will be easier than ever for campers to reserve a campsite at 20 of Colorado’s state parks. Effective Jan. 1, 15 state parks will convert to a "reservation-only" system after it was tested successfully by five parks in 2018. Under the new system, campers can reserve a site, 24/7, anywhere from six months in advance up until the day of their arrival. It will be as easy as logging into cpwshop.com from your computer or smartphone, or by calling 800-244-5613.
Park managers in the pilot program reported success with eliminating the three-day reservation window and switching to a system where campers reserved their own spots via phone or online the day they plan to arrive at the park or up to six months in advance.
The ability to reserve a site on the same day eliminates the need for campers to gamble on a first-come, first-served spot, only to arrive at the park and find that there aren’t any spots available.
What if someone occupies a site they haven't reserved?
Campers who occupy a reservation-only campsite without a reservation will be subject to a citation. All campers must reserve a campsite prior to occupying the site. This can be done 24/7 at cpwshop.com or by calling 1-800-244-5613.
Also beginning Jan. 1, CPW is eliminating its $10 reservation-only camping fee when calling or using the website to reserve a site. It’s never been easier to book a campsite at a Colorado state park!
Please note: Cellular coverage at some state parks (like Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area, State Forest and Highline) can range from spotty to non-existent. CPW is advising those interested in camping at these parks to make their reservations online or by phone before arrival.
State parks currently participating in this program are:
Cheyenne Mountain
Eleven Mile
Staunton
St. Vrain
Trinidad Lake
State parks joining the program on January 1, 2019 are:
Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area
Boyd Lake
Cherry Creek
Golden Gate Canyon
Highline Lake
Jackson Lake
John Martin Reservoir
Lathrop
Mueller
North Sterling
Pearl Lake
Ridgway
State Forest
Steamboat Lake
Yampa River
State parks joining the program on April 1, 2019:
Lake Pueblo
Chatfield

Public tip sparks investigation that ends with guilty pleas in poaching case
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – An anonymous tip from the public led to weeks of investigation by Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers and resulted in the arrests and guilty pleas of two Florida men accused of participating in a poaching operation that claimed at least three mule deer and six pronghorn in Elbert and Lincoln counties.
CPW officers allege the poachers, who were in Colorado working jobs in the energy industry, killed deer and pronghorn – simply decapitating some and leaving their torsos – and shipped their heads to a taxidermist in Florida for mounting.
CPW, working with Colorado Springs Police Department, the Limon Police Department and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, made two arrests in the case.
First they arrested Timothy Draper, age 32, of Bunnell, Fla., in March after he arrived at the Colorado Springs Airport. Before his plane landed, CPW executed a search warrant and confiscated Draper’s truck from the airport parking lot. Forensic analysis of the truck produced important DNA evidence in the case.
About the same time, CPW officers also arrested Lawrence J. Cowart, 29, of Bunnell, Fla., after a search of his Limon apartment and his vehicle produced evidence of poaching.
The men were accused of illegally killing deer and pronghorn in the Limon area over a 10-month period dating to May 2017. CPW officers accused Draper and Cowart of multiple counts of willful destruction of wildlife, Class 5 felonies, as well as several misdemeanor charges of illegal taking of wildlife, hunting from a motor vehicle, waste of game meat and illegal transfer of a hunting license.
In October, Draper pleaded guilty to illegal possession of three or more big game animals. As part of his plea agreement, Draper forfeited all weapons and equipment used in his crime.
Cowart pleaded guilty to a Class 5 felony of willful destruction of wildlife and forfeited all his firearms and equipment used in his crime.
Both Draper and Cowart still face possible suspension of their hunting privileges, ranging anywhere from one year to lifetime suspensions.
CPW’s Frank McGee, Area Wildlife Manager for the Pikes Peak region, said poaching is a crime CPW takes seriously.
“As the agency responsible for perpetuating the wildlife resources of the state, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will not tolerate poaching,” McGee said. “These men are not hunters by any definition. In the eyes of CPW, and the law, they are criminals who were engaged in illegal killing of wildlife.”
As part of their plea agreements, Draper and Cowart surrendered the trophy heads of the illegally harvested deer and pronghorn as well as several firearms used in the poaching.
McGee said the investigation is ongoing and more arrests and misdemeanor citations could follow as district wildlife managers Benjamin Meier and Logan Wilkins pursue additional leads in the case.
“This case is a great example of the work our wildlife officers do on a daily basis,” McGee said of Meier and Wilkins. “We pride ourselves on our law enforcement work. And it shows our commitment to stopping poachers.”
McGee also praised the person who came forward with the tip to CPW’s poaching hotline Operation Game Thief.
“We depend on the public to report suspicious activity,” McGee said. “We have a limited staff. It’s critical we get help from the public to stop crimes against wildlife. This is a great example that when people call, we respond.”
Anyone who has information about a possible crime against wildlife is encouraged to call CPW or report it anonymously to Operation Game Thief. Witnesses can reach Operation Game Thief several ways including by calling, toll-free, 1-877-COLO-OGT (or 877-265-6648). Verizon cell phone users can dial #OGT. Or send an email to CPW at game.thief@state.co.us .
Callers do not have to reveal their names or testify in court. A $500 reward is offered for information on cases involving big game or endangered species, while $250 is offered for information on turkey and $100 for fishing and small game cases.
A Citizens Committee administers the reward fund, which is maintained by private contributions. The board may approve rewards of up to $1,000 for flagrant cases. Rewards are paid for information that leads to an arrest or a citation being issued.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wildlife rehabbers like Tom and Cecilia Sanders will benefit from new Wildlife Rehabilitation Grant Awards.

2018 Wildlife Rehabilitation Grant Awards will support rehabilitation efforts across Colorado
DENVER – The recipients of Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s first-ever Wildlife Rehabilitation Grants have been determined. Wildlife Rehabilitation Grants are offered by CPW to support wildlife rehabilitation efforts across the state.
This newly offered grant program from CPW was created through House Bill 17-1250 . Funding for the grant program comes primarily from the nongame tax check-off program, along with fines from nongame wildlife-based offenses and interest income. For the first $250,000 raised annually, 10 percent is allocated to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Grant program, which aims to provide funding specifically for wildlife rehabilitation centers. For many rehabbers, this kind of funding fills a critical gap.
“We had about $83,000 in requests and just under $17,000 in funding available,” said CPW Grants Administrator Jim Guthrie. “There’s a big need out there. A lot of these rehabbers run on shoestring budgets. They commit tremendous effort really for the love of helping animals recover.”
Guthrie pointed to grant awards like the one for an upgraded flight cage for Schneegas Wildlife Foundation in New Castle as examples of how just a little bit of financial help can go a long way for rehabbers.
“A relatively simple improvement will let them get birds like owls and hawks out of the flight cage more easily and prevent injury,” Guthrie said. “For just a small investment, it will help them operate a lot more efficiently, the birds will recover faster, and the facility can handle more of them.”
Rehabbers like Tom and Cecilia Sanders at Wet Mountain Wildlife Rehabilitation in Wetmore offer the best chance for bears and other large mammals that have become habituated to humans to be rehabbed and eventually released back into the wild. A Wildlife Rehabilitation Grant will enable them to continue providing food and veterinary care for the sick, orphaned or injured bears, mountain lions, deer, pronghorn, bobcat and other animals they help.
"Rehabilitators licensed through Colorado Parks and Wildlife provide a significant service to the public,” said CPW Area Wildlife Manager Crystal Chick. “Being a rehabilitator requires a great deal of commitment. They commit an enormous amount of their own time, space and financial resources. In addition, rehabilitators are required to possess specific knowledge and skills related to the animals they rehabilitate and often assist Colorado Parks and Wildlife by providing education to the public on what to do if they encounter sick, injured or orphaned wildlife."
Applications for Wildlife Rehabilitation Grant Awards are due each year around early November. For more information on the grant program and application materials, please visit the Wildlife Rehabilitation Grants page .

Colorado Parks and Wildlife will sponsor family activities
at the 2019 Denver International Sportsmen's Expo
DENVER, Colo. - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is coordinating the Youth Fair at the International Sportsmen’s Expo, where more than 500 companies pack three giant halls with fishing and hunting products, expert presentations, and a variety of informational booths. The International Sportsmen’s Expo runs from January 10 - 13, 2019 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
The Youth Fair will offer free activities geared toward young sportsmen and women, including live raptor demonstrations, a catch-and-release fishing pond (with free flies for kids who fish), and mini off-road racetrack. Don’t forget, youth under 16 enter the expo for free!
"We are excited to sponsor the Youth Fair at the International Sportsmen’s Expo. We think families will enjoy our Leave No Trace activities and kids fishing tank,” said CPW Public Programs Coordinator Mary McCormac. “Our goal is to provide activities that kids and families will love.”
Look for CPW signs near the food court located in the northwest corner of the exhibit floor. Some of CPW’s featured exhibits at the Youth Fair include:
CPW Kids' Trail - Bring the kids! Join us for an indoor nature trail that teaches conservation and Leave No Trace principles. Families will also have the opportunity to explore amazing wildlife species with CPW staff and volunteers. Take a “selfie” in front of our beautiful state park backdrop, sponsored by the Friends of Colorado State Parks.
CPW careers - Learn more about conservation careers from actual park rangers and wildlife officers.
Kids fishing tank - Catch and release real fish. All rods, tackle and bait will be provided by CPW’s angler outreach program.
Invasive species - Try your hand at the “Whac-A-Mussel” game and learn about invasive species in Colorado.
Hatcheries - Check out our brand-new hatchery trailer and learn how and why we stock fish in waters across the state.
Operation Game Thief - Learn about poaching and how CPW works to bring violators to justice. Visit with wildlife officers to learn about hunting and fishing regulations and opportunities in Colorado.
CPW sales booth - Purchase CPW merchandise, Colorado Outdoors subscriptions and more.
Hunter education - Want to pass on your hunting heritage? Learn what it takes to become a hunter education instructor.
CPW information center - Be sure to visit this booth to enter in our daily drawing to win a free annual state parks pass. Here you will also be able to meet with CPW staff and learn about our 41 amazing state parks.
CPW partner booths - Learn more about trail etiquette with Stay the Trail’s mini remote control truck course and other topics with Colorado Wildlife Federation, Outdoor Buddies, the Wildlife Council, and the Raptor Education Foundation, which will have live birds as part of their educational booth.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Grand Junction resident Dianna Unitt was the first to complete CPW's State Parks Passport Program.

Grand Junction resident is first to complete Colorado Parks and Wildlife's State Parks Passport Program
GRAND JUNCTION - The first person to complete Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s State Parks Passport Program said she saw the program on a television commercial, but didn’t think much about it until a week later when she was out with her husband fishing at Vega Lake at Vega State Park.
Grand Junction resident Dianna Unitt said she took a break from fishing to go over to the Vega State Park visitors center and grab a passport. Dianna said she got her passport stamped at four state parks near Grand Junction, and that’s when she knew she wanted to visit them all.
“We thought, this will be fun, let’s do it,” she said. “We have a Colorado map on our wall and we put little thumbtacks in each one of the state parks and fish hatcheries so we could see what we were working with. Then we divided it up into smaller day trips.”
Dianna and her husband Chuck loaded up their cabover camper with their two shih-tzus Buddy and Hutch and hit the road.
“We camped wherever we wound up for the night,” she said. “Going from state park to state park, you know there’s a campground at the end of the road and you’ll have a place to stay. It was September and October so the colors were just absolutely magnificent. It was the perfect time to do it.”
Dianna started collecting stamps in her passport on September 10, but after she got 10 parks completed, her husband Chuck decided he would like to participate as well. After Dianna completed the passport program on October 26, the couple revisited the parks and hatcheries (again!) that Chuck had missed so he could get his passport stamped. Chuck finished the program on November 11.
“All of the rangers were just as excited as we were when we came in to get our stamps - especially the last ones,” Dianna said. “They were really excited to see the stamps and see that somebody had finished it … Toward the end it kind of became a quest. If there was nobody in the visitors center, we sat there until somebody showed up. We were not going to leave the visitors center without that stamp.”
Ready to start your own adventure? Head to a state park or hatchery near you to pick up your passport. With 58 colored pages, the passport booklet offers insight into each park and hatchery and allows visitors to collect stamps at every location. Each stamp is unique and represents a significant feature of that site. Once you have visited a new location, you will be able to use your passport to record the date, as well as your favorite part of the visit.
As you make your way around Colorado, different prizes will be awarded as you reach new milestones. Once you have received your last stamp, make sure to have a park or hatchery representative certify the back page of your passport. You will then be able to send in a photo of your passport to collect your completion prize. Please visit cpw.state.co.us/Passport for further instructions on completing your passport and a list of available prizes.

Don’t stand under the beggartick with anyone else but me
By Darcy Mount
Senior Ranger Cheyenne Mountain State Park
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Recently, I was reading a field guide for native plants and the thought struck me: who comes up with the common names of plants like spikenard, beggartick and duckmeat?
We come across odd plants all the time in our parks and I like to know a little about them. So the biologist in me decided to do some research. The first plant I investigated was seasonally appropriate: the mistletoe.
Did the scientist who first identified this plant happen to stub her toe during the Cuban missile crisis and then she spelled it wrong? How did they come up with mistletoe?
Turns out mistletoe is a common name for several types of damaging parasitic plants that impact a variety of tree species. According to Colorado State University’s website, there are six species of mistletoe in Colorado with five of those being dwarf mistletoes.
The dwarf varieties look nothing like the holiday version we are used to seeing with its large leaves and red berries.
The only “true” mistletoe in Colorado only grows on Juniper trees.
Dwarf mistletoe is native to forests from Alaska south to Central America and is a small branching parasite that can be greenish to yellow/orange and are about 6 inches long. They cause severe damage to the tree by causing abnormal growth and produce a tangled mass at the point of infection, which is called a “witches’ broom.”
They have a very sophisticated way of dispersing their seed. In late summer the seeds mature in the female plants, pressure builds up and with a small disturbance the plant explodes its seeds into the air at an impressive rate.
The seeds can land 30+ feet from the original host tree. This process can infect large stands or even an entire forest. The only natural means to stop the infestation is fire. Mistletoe will eventually kill its host tree or shrub whether by infection or by making the tree more susceptible to other diseases or pests. When the host dies so does the mistletoe.
It is thought that Mistletoe became a holiday symbol because it was one of the only small plants to remain green in the winter. The tradition of kissing under the plant came from the red berries, which was a sign of reproduction.
Kiss under the mistletoe but keep it away from your pets. It’s toxic.
Now for the fun part, its name. Having thought that the little plant grew on bird poop, the word for dung “mistel” and twig “tan”, basically a plant growing on poop. Misteltan was morphed over time into mistletoe. While the bird poop was a coincidence more than a necessity to the plant, the name stuck.
Just think about that when you pull your significant other under the mistletoe for kiss, you are standing under a parasite named after poop.
Maybe in a later article we can address some of the other names. Since I work for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, I probably ought to investigate duckmeat.
If you have general questions about Colorado Parks and Wildlife, email Darcy at AskARanger @state.co.us . Darcy may answer it in a future column.
But if you have an immediate question about wildlife or a state park, please call the nearest CPW office in your community. For CPW office locations and contact information, go to http://cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/ContactUs.aspx .

Arkansas Headwaters hosts free ‘wingding’ holiday open house with activities, raffle
SALIDA, Colo. – The holidays are a great time to get together with friends and that’s why Arkansas Headwater Recreation Area (AHRA) is hosting its own “Wingding” Holiday Open House.
The staff at the park wants all its friends in the community to stop by its open house, scheduled 1-4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 14, at the AHRA Visitor Center, 307 W. Sackett Ave., in downtown Salida.
The event is free and attendees will enjoy wildlife-themed activities and holiday refreshments.
Of course, park staff wouldn’t miss the chance to offer activities and a learning experience. Children are invited to solve a "whodunnit" mystery. They can investigate tracks, hair and skulls. Or they can build a birdhouse, peek at owl pellets or listen to a story or two in the reading corner.
Adults and children can enjoy a special presentation by amateur geologist Bob Hickey, AHRA's favorite hike leader. District Wildlife Officer Kim Woodruff will lead a fishing lure and spoon-making activity.
And be sure to sign up for the free raffle drawing for your chance at a basket of goodies.
This event is sponsored jointly by Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Greater Arkansas River Nature Association (GARNA),
The open house also is a great time to shop the AHRA Gift Shop. Looking for the perfect gift for the outdoor enthusiast in your life? Our gift shop also is full of clothing, books and other unique gift items that will be on sale at a 10 percent discount on GARNA merchandise. Gift certificates also will be available.
For more information call AHRA at 719-539-7289.

Parks and Wildlife Commission approves awards for 2018 Colorado the Beautiful Trail Grants
DENVER - The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission has approved the State Recreational Trails Committee recommendations for this year's Colorado the Beautiful Grants award cycle. With the 11 awarded grants this year, over $4 million has been allocated to help improve trails and access to public land across Colorado.
The vision of Governor Hickenlooper’s Colorado the Beautiful Initiative is that within a generation, every Coloradan will live within 10 minutes of a park, trail, or vibrant green space. The Colorado the Beautiful Trails Grant Program works towards this goal by increasing access to public lands for Coloradans and visitors alike .
“Colorado's outdoor spaces, trails, and recreation opportunities are why so many people choose to live and play here. These trail grants expand access to trails and outdoor spaces, create new opportunities for outdoor recreation and help connect more Coloradans with nature,” says Nick Dellaca, CPW state trails program manager. “These projects will help take us a step closer to connecting every Coloradan to a park, trail or open space.”
The Colorado the Beautiful Grant Program is a partnership between CPW and Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) . Prioritizations for awards include connections to existing outdoor recreation opportunities, regional trail connectivity, proximity and benefit to local communities, wildlife and natural resource mitigation, collaborative partnerships and approach, and community health benefits. This year’s largest award, to the City and County of Denver, was funded with Land and Water Conservation Fund dollars.
To learn more about this year's Colorado the Beautiful Grant Program awards, please see the descriptions below.
Methodist Mountain Trail System - $269,951 to Salida Mountain Trails: This grant to Salida Mountain Trails will help to complete the BLM Master Plan for the Methodist Mountain Trail System. Overall, the project will see construction of 6 miles of non-motorized trail, reconstruction of 5 miles of a mixed-use non-motorized and motorized trail, a new trailhead with 20 parking spaces, and new trail signage, gates, and trailhead kiosk. The project will add (for the first time) two connections to the iconic Rainbow Trail and one to the City of Salida.
Lunch Loops Connector Trail - $400,000 to the City of Grand Junction: In collaboration with 8 other funding sources, the Lunch Loops Connector will construct two bridges, four low-water crossings, 1.5 miles of concrete path, and other trailhead amenities. This project will connect 75 miles of single track dirt trail to the City of Grand Junction. In addition to impacting over 120,000 visitors per year, the trail will provide underserved local communities safe access to the Lunch Loops Trail System.
Peaks to Plains Trail Phase 2 - $500,000 to Clear Creek County: Ultimately connecting Loveland Pass to Denver, the Peaks to Plains Trail will be adding .75 miles of concrete trail in the Clear Creek Canyon. With this new segment, trail users will be able to travel 4.5 miles along the Clear Creek from the Big Easy Trailhead in Jefferson County to this new segment around Tunnel 6 in Clear Creek County. Activities along the creek include running/walking, cycling, fishing, photography, rafting, gold panning, and environmental education.
LOVA Trail - New Castle to Canyon Creek - $500,000 to the Town of New Castle: This new section of trail in the Lower Valley will add 1.65 miles of trail along the south side of the Colorado River with a bridge, rock mitigation, and an underpass to connect New Castle to Canyon Creek. Currently, bikers must navigate the busy freeway in order to travel from New Castle to Glenwood Springs. This trail will add to safety in the region as well as recreation potential as it connects with the Rio Grande and Glenwood Canyon Trails.
Stage and Rail Trail - $205,400 to Chaffee County: As part of a larger 70-mile route from Leadville to Salida, proponents in Chaffee County will construct 1.9 miles of asphalt path to better connect Buena Vista to Johnson Village. The project will improve community pedestrian and cycling safety in addition to adding signage to enhance navigability, access, and education along this section of the Stage and Rail Trail.
Palisade Plunge - $527,000 to Mesa County: The Palisade Plunge Trail is a community effort led by groups within the Grand Valley. With the help of the Western Colorado Conservation Youth Corps, this first phase will construct 13.5 miles out of a total 33.8 miles of single track trail. The whole project, with its length, vertical relief, and unique terrain will make it a destination single track trail fueling tourism and economic development to the region. The project will also rework the existing paved path near N. River Rd. and US Hwy 6 to connect existing trail networks.
Legacy Loop - Rock Island Trail - $500,000 to Colo Springs Parks, Rec & Cultural Services: The project is set to add .62 miles of concrete trail and a gravel shoulder to the entire length of Rock Island’s “missing gap.” When complete, the Rock Island Trail will provide an east-west connection with the “spine” of the community’s urban Legacy Loop trail network giving thousands of families safe trails access to parks, neighborhoods, and schools. Additionally, this project will add an ADA accessible trail connection to the Shook’s Run trail, two bridge underpasses, retaining walls, signage, and wayfinding.
Fremont Pass Recreation Pathway - $600,000 to Summit County Open Space Trails: The Fremont Pass Recreation Path is an envisioned trail that will connect Copper Mountain in Summit County to Leadville in Lake County along the Top of the Rockies National Scenic Byway. This phase of the project comprises a 3.3 mile long paved multi-modal trail that bypasses a dangerous, narrow section of State Highway 91 that is currently used by cyclists. In addition to meeting ADA standards, this project will include a light penetrating elevated boardwalk through a wetlands area and a 260 ft bridge crossing Highway 91.
Heron/Heller/Carpio-Park Phase 1 - $750,000 to City/County of Denver - Parks and Recreation: In support of Phase 1 of the Heron Pond/Heller/Carpio-Sanguinette Master Plan, this project will construct .8 miles of concrete trails, .5 miles of multi-use trails and a trailhead parking area, providing loops to amenities within the park and connecting the underserved Globeville neighborhood with the South Platte Regional Trail System. In addition to accommodating “wheeled” recreation such as biking and rollerblading on this 80-acre property, the park will include educational opportunities around the natural ecology of the area.
Great Western Trail - $250,000 to Great Western Trail Authority: Joining 3 miles of trail previously completed in 2014, this project will take another 7 miles of abandoned railway corridor and turn it into a crushed-gravel recreational trail connecting Eaton to Severance. With its completion, the Great Western Trail will connect to the Front Range Trail via the Poudre River Trail and will provide a unique trail experience as it passes through rural agricultural lands.
Envision Recreation in Balance - $99,367 to Chaffee County: Born from the larger county-wide Envision Chaffee County community visioning program, the Envision Recreation in Balance program will develop sustainable solutions to balance rapid growth in outdoor recreation with watershed health protections by tracking and managing unplanned growth and impact issues. In addition to supporting a Recreation in Balance Task Force made up of 10 local land managers and businesses, the program will provide four deliverables including a Recreation and Natural Resource Atlas, a Recreation Impact Monitoring System, Rapid Response Projects, and a Balanced Recreation Plan.
Since 2000, CPWs Trails Program has distributed over $105 million for trail grants and capital improvements that benefit year-round trail use. Please visit the Colorado the Beautiful Grant Page for information regarding the grant cycle timeline, application summaries, and grant application instructions.

CPW staff goes to great lengths to monitor Colorado’s bighorn sheep
DENVER - When it comes to conservation of Colorado’s majetic and agile Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff battles jagged walls, steep cliffs and the weather, both good and bad, across the state to fulfill their mission. Such was the case Wednesday just off of I-70 near Georgetown, where the winds were whipping and temperatures were in the 20s. CPW staff conducted a survey of that bighorn sheep herd, spreading teams out across eight different locations looking for rams, ewes and lambs from Golden to the Continental Divide. CPW monitors the state’s bighorn twice annually, once in the summer and once in the winter to gauge how many lambs survive their first six months as well as to calculate the ram to ewe ratios. The winter is the preferred survey time because the rams, ewes and lambs all congregate together in lower elevations during this breeding season, referred to as the rut. “Bighorn herds are surveyed to monitor productivity, general abundance trends, distribution and disease,” Wildlife Biologist Ben Kraft said. “This allows CPW to manage towards the herd's objectives, which are set in consultation with the public. The surveys that are conducted in Georgetown today, have been occurring since 1992.” So you see, this is a longstanding practice of the state’s biologists monitoring its wildlife and thus, a lot has been learned through these efforts to help conserve the animal that disease and unregulated hunting almost wiped out in the early 1900s. Disease can take a toll on Colorado’s bighorns. One historical example of drastic disease impact took place in the Kenosha and Tarryall Mountains. Historical literature states these mountains had the largest sheep herd in all of North America - reportedly in the 2,000-3,000 range. Today, both the Kenosha and Tarryall herds range in size from 40-60, so disease can cause an all-age die-off. “Disease is a major concern because it may lead to respiratory illness throughout a herd,” Kraft added. “This can result in a large proportion of the herd dying and the absence of lamb recruitment for a very long time. In a worst case scenario, entire herds have been lost because of disease. Researchers are still trying to understand which ‘bugs’ and environmental conditions lead to all-age die-offs, but the mechanism of disease introduction into bighorn herds is co-mingling with domestic sheep and goats.” That is just some of what has been learned through these surveys over the years, which take place in a variety of ways. However, many of Colorado’s bighorn sheep populations live in remote, rugged areas with limited human access, making this information expensive and time consuming to collect. A lot of miles - many of them of the steep variety - are hiked by CPW staff, but the use of aerial drones and helicopters help from above on many surveys. Whether surveys are conducted in the air or on the ground depends on funding and environmental conditions. The Northeast Region team of CPW wildlife biologists has plans for eight bighorn surveys this winter. The Southeast has 11 on its docket and the Southwest has eight. All are aimed to take a look at what is an estimated statewide bighorn population of 7,000 animals. The current affairs among Colorado’s bighorn sheep is that the state’s herds are healthy and in check. That is thanks to the efforts of many constituents dedicated to conservation of the state’s wildlife. “The persistence of bighorn herds is a community effort by landowners, local and federal land managers and CPW,” Kraft said. “When I see the robustness of bighorn in Colorado, I know that a significant amount of forethought and effort has gone into managing Colorado's habitat and appreciate the natural landscapes that Colorado has to offer.” Location of bighorn surveys in the Northeast region of Colorado: Poudre Canyon Big Thompson Canyon St. Vrain Georgetown Waterton Canyon Greenland Other well known bighorn herd locations across Colorado: Tarryall and Kenosha Mountain herds Mount Evans/Grant herds
