Today, the Forest Service is announcing an interagency effort to monitor recreation use by implementing pilot projects across public lands. This effort is geared towards improving recreation resource management, visitor services, and planning.

“Understanding visitor recreation use patterns is important for the Forest Service to gain a better understanding of the demand so we can improve visitor experiences,” said Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz. “These pilot projects will incorporate a variety of on-site techniques including activities such as manually counting visitors, summarizing trail permit data, installing mechanical counters, and providing logbooks for visitors to record their use.”

All are encouraged to participate in a 30-day public comment period by visiting BLM’s e-planning website https://eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home/?id=3240C41B-9A70-F111-AB0D-001DD8084607.

All lands managed by the White River National Forest will be under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions beginning this Friday, June 19.

You can find the details at www.fs.usda.gov/r02/whiteriver/fire/info, but the biggest impact for people recreating on the White River National Forest is that you can only have campfires in the designated metal rings in developed campgrounds and recreation sites.

Rio Blanco County will go into Stage 1 Fire Restrictions starting Friday, June 19, 2026, at 00:01 a.m. for unincorporated and private lands.
Stage 1 Fire Restrictions are also in effect for the White River National Forest and Bureau of Land Management-administered lands. Please call ahead or verify restrictions for the area you will be in, as different land jurisdictions may impose different stages and restrictions.

PROHIBITIONS:
Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire or campfire except within agency-provided fire grates at developed recreation sites. Devices using gas, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel are permitted.
Using burn barrels or burn pits to burn trash/rubbish.
Smoking, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials.
Operating a chainsaw without a USDA or SAE-approved spark arrestor properly installed and working, a chemical fire extinguisher of not less than 8 ounces capacity by weight, and one round point shovel with an overall length of at least 36 inches.
Using a welder, either arc or gas, or operating an acetylene or other torch with open flame, except in cleared areas of at least 10 feet in diameter with a chemical pressurized fire extinguisher of not less than 8 ounces capacity.
Using exploding targets or illegal fireworks.
EXEMPTIONS:
Persons with a written permit that specifically authorizes the otherwise prohibited act.
Persons conducting activities in those designated areas where the activity is specifically authorized by a written posted notice.
Any Federal, State, or local officer or member of an organized rescue or firefighting force in the performance of an official duty.

FIREWORKS:
We also want to clarify what Colorado law says regarding fireworks. Fire restrictions do not automatically mean every item commonly referred to as a firework is illegal; however, Colorado law does limit what fireworks may be possessed or discharged.
Pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-33.5-2001, “permissible fireworks” are limited to certain small, ground-based fireworks designed to produce audible or visual effects by combustion. These may include items such as fountains, sparklers, wheels, and similar devices that meet the statutory definition.
Permissible fireworks do not include aerial devices or audible ground devices, including but not limited to firecrackers.
