As Colorado residents, we have the privilege of being surrounded by a number of beautiful state parks and visiting one doesn’t have to cost you a thing. 

The University Libraries checks out Colorado State Park passes equipped with a backpack, binoculars and informational brochures (tree, wildlife, bird guides, etc.). Each pass checks out for a week and allows one vehicle into the park so don’t hesitate to carpool with your friends or family.

Passes check out from the Norlin Library East Service Desk and can be reserved online. 

For new hikers or those looking to brush up on the essentials, review hiking tips from the Division of Student Life.
