DENVER â Beginning Friday, visitors to six Colorado state parks will have to pay $1 more for a daily vehicle pass.
This increase in fees, which Colorado Parks and Wildlife is calling a "high-use fee," applies to Lake Pueblo State Park, Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Staunton State Park, Castlewood Canyon State Park, Roxborough State Park and Highline State Park.
This $1 increase was needed to mitigate extra expenses and resource strains after the parks welcomed a high level of visitors, CPW said. The six parks all saw a "huge" increase in visitation numbers, CPW explained.
