- Removal of Dead Trees – Campgrounds may look extremely different than they have in the past. Rocky Mountain National Park is one area in Colorado where trees are dying from the mountain pine beetle epidemic. Park Staff members are removing dead trees that have been killed by the outbreak of native pine beetles. The removal reduces risk associated with falling trees. Always be aware of your surroundings, particularly during times of high wind. Temporary closures may occur at campgrounds, picnic areas, and trailhead parking areas while trees are being removed.
- NOTE: Do NOT bring firewood from another State; firewood can spread harmful insect pests and diseases. Help protect Colorado’s public lands by acquiring local firewood at or near the campground where you’re staying. Contact the Colorado Department of Agriculture immediately for instructions on how to dispose of any firewood brought in from another state.
