Vehicles with non-Colorado license plates will now pay $15 for a day pass to enter Colorado state parks, according to a May 1 press release from Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
The pass is specifically for out-of-state vehicles, and a separate day pass for drivers with vehicles registered in Colorado is $10. A similar fee structure is used on other Colorado Parks and Wildlife products and is in line with other states, according to the release.
Vehicles with Colorado license plates can still purchase the annual Keep Colorado Wild pass with their vehicle registration for $29 per year.
Chatfield, Elkhead Reservoir, Golden Gate Canyon, Pearl Lake, Stagecoach,
State Forest and Steamboat Lake State Parks impose an additional $2 fee for both resident and out-of-state license plates, according to the release.
