COLORADO (KOAA) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has implemented an out-of-state vehicle license plate daily parks pass.

CPW says the Parks and Wildlife Commission (PWC) recently approved a park pass for vehicles with out-of-state license plates for $15 a day. The fee went into effect on Friday.

According to CPW, a similar fee structure is used on other CPW products.

Vehicles with Colorado license plates can still purchase the annual Keep Colorado Wild pass with their vehicle registration for $29 per year, or purchase a daily park pass for $10 a day.

CPW says a $2 fee for residents and out-of-state license plates is in effect at the following parks:

  • Chatfield State Park (Littleton)
  • Elk Head Reservoir State Park (Craig)
  • Golden Gate Canyon State Park (Golden)
  • Pearl Lake State Park (Routt County)
  • Stagecoach State Park (Routt County)
  • State Forest State Park (Larimer County)
  • Steamboat Lake State Park (Routt County)
