When hiking, please follow these regulations:

A permit is required for all overnight stays in the backcountry. Permits may be obtained in advance or upon arrival. Call the backcountry office at 970-586-1242 for permits.

Backcountry camping is limited to seven nights between May and September and 14 more nights during the remainder of the year. Backcountry camping is allowed in designated campsites only, unless authorized by permit.

Camp no closer than 100 feet to a source of water and do not dump soapy water or food scraps into a stream or lake.

Dispose of human waste away from water sources. Dig a shallow hole for use and refill with soil and sob or pack it out.

Wood fires are permitted only in metal fire rings. Use only dead and down wood. Where there are no fire rings, you must use a lightweight portable stove.

No pets are permitted on trails in the backcountry.
