Servicemembers and veterans get free entry into Colorado state parks in August

In order to thank servicemembers for their service to this country, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is offering active-duty military members, National Guard members, and veterans free admission to all Colorado state parks during the month of August.

All other park fees remain in place, including:

• camping reservations
• boat registrations
• off-highway vehicle registrations
