Camping in the National Forest? Please follow their rules, stay safe and enjoy our beautiful mountains

As we head into the holiday weekend, here is a quick reminder that we are still in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions on the Pike-San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands. Here’s what this means:

🚫 No campfires at dispersed camping sites.

🏕️ Campfires are allowed ONLY in developed recreation sites in permanent metal or concrete fire pits or grates provided by the U.S. Forest Service.

🫕 Devices solely fueled by liquid or gas that can be turned on and off may be used in dispersed camping areas. Clear at least three feet of flammable materials above and around the stove/grill.

🚭 Smoke ONLY in an enclosed vehicle, in a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area that is at least three feet in diameter and clear of all flammable material. Be sure to fully extinguish your cigarette and dispose of it properly.

Any violation of these prohibitions is punishable as a Class B misdemeanor.
