Be Aware, Recreate with Care

It's no surprise that Durango, Colorado gets plenty of attention because of its incredible trail and local recreation areas. Outdoor recreation comes in many forms:

• Hiking
• Mountain biking
• Fishing
• Rafting
• Climbing

And so much more!

In order to keep everyone safe and to keep our 300+ miles of trails and natural lands protected, we're asking everyone- locals and visitors alike to "Be Aware and Recreate with Care."

Easy Ways to Be Aware and Recreate with Care

• Know and obey the current fire, grilling, and smoking restrictions
• Know the trail conditions of where you're going
• Know proper trail etiquette
• Stay on designated trails
• Pack out your waste (including your pet's)
• Respect wildlife
• Check the weather conditions
• Wear the right clothes
• Pack enough food, water, and salt
• Wear and reapply sunscreen every two hours
• Stretch early and often
• Wear a helmet (if you're on wheels, the water, or the climbing wall)

We all have a responsibility to share and play together- for the benefit of the trail's health, each other, and our Durango animal friends.
