While Rocky Mountain National Park, Mesa Verde, and Colorado’s other national parks get the hype, Colorado’s 42 state parks are particularly significant economic engines for communities across the state. To note, it’s estimated that the economic contribution of Colorado’s state park system rings in at about $1.25 billion. Other parks also bring in plenty of customers, and dollars, such as Golden Gate Canyon State Park in the foothills at Golden, or Staunton State Park in Pine that recently added more than 30 miles of trails to its wilderness.
