Heads Up, Fire Restrictions Are In Effect! The White River National Forest, BLM Upper Colorado River District, and Garfield County have officially enacted Stage 1 fire restrictions.

This is crucial for preventing wildfires and keeping our beautiful landscapes safe. Please know and follow these rules:
🔹Campfires are ONLY allowed within designated fire grates in developed campgrounds. This means a metal, in-ground containment structure — fire pans and rock campfire rings are not acceptable.
🔹No fires of any type, including charcoal, outside of developed areas.
🔹No smoking except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or in a barren area free of vegetation.
🔹No use of explosive materials, including fireworks, explosive targets, or tracer rounds.
🔹No welding or operation of an acetylene or other similar torch with open flame, except from an area that has been cleared of vegetation.
🔹No operation of any internal combustion engine without a spark-arresting device properly installed and in working order.

Officials are constantly evaluating conditions, and BLM Grand Junction and Colorado River Valley Field Offices, along with unincorporated private lands in Eagle, Garfield, Mesa, Pitkin, and Summit counties, are also under these restrictions. Let's all do our part to Take It Easy on our wild places.
