Fresh Air Friday - FREE Admission to All CO State Parks on Black Friday!

"Colorado Parks and Wildlife encourages you to take some time this Thanksgiving weekend to explore the outdoors and make new memories with the people you love. Turn Black Friday into a blue skies Friday, a green trees Friday, a white snow Friday… a Fresh Air Friday!

Every outdoor activity is the right way to celebrate Fresh Air Friday, whether exploring a state park, skiing in the high country, or playing a game of freeze tag in the backyard. Studies show that spending time outdoors - no matter the activity - can improve one’s ability to focus, decrease fatigue and even help improve short-term memory! So whatever activity you choose, get out and give thanks. Share your outdoor adventures with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the hashtag #FreshAirFridayCO.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is pleased to partner again this year with Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) to offer free access to all 41 Colorado state parks on Fresh Air Friday. Throughout the year, CPW offers family-friendly activities, fun-filled adventures and opportunities to learn and try new things at all of our state parks. We look forward to your next visit!"

It's a beautiful day in the mountains to come to Staunton! Our thanks to Colorado Parks & Wildlife and Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) for making the free admission possible.

We have a new paved lot that holds 92 cars just up from the Group Picnic Area parking lot, but Staunton broke attendance records last year on Fresh Air Friday with over 600 cars (a normal weekend day in the summer we'll usually see 300-350) so be prepared to be parked along the entrance road.
