As Coloradans, we treasure our outdoor lifestyle and the state’s natural beauty. Join us in keeping Colorado, Colorado. Your Keep Colorado Wild Pass is so much more than just a state park pass.
State Parks & Recreation- Your pass helps manage Colorado’s 42 state parks, which includes keeping them clean and building new trails and facilities.
Backcountry Safety- Your pass supports the volunteer and equipment needs of search and rescue professionals across Colorado and avalanche safety programs through the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. Because of your support and the tremendous generosity of our search and rescue responders, Colorado will be a safer place to play.
Wildlife Conservation- Additional money raised not used for state parks and outdoor safety will be used to support the State Wildlife Action Plan, which helps fund wildlife and habitat conservation work for the 960 species that CPW manages.
Local Communities- Your pass supports our natural resources and helps grow outdoor accessibility and educational programs in local communities.
Our goal is to raise at least $36 million annually from pass sales. The first $32.5 million will go toward state park maintenance and development; the next $2.5 million will go towards search and rescue teams and $1 million to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. Any revenue beyond that will go to wildlife projects and outdoor educational programs.
