Free Colorado State Park Pass Backpack
Library Backpack
- Check out a state park pass and backpack from your local library.
- Use the pass to get into a state park for FREE.
- Use the backpack to explore a nearby state park and see what you can learn. The backpack includes binoculars, a wildlife viewing guide, a Colorado bird guide, a tree and wildflower identification guide, a star guide, a park brochure, a suggested activities list and the Leave No Trace outdoor ethics principles.
- Share a photo with #CheckOutColorado on Twitter or Instagram.
Hike or bike the multi-use trails, find wildlife in their natural surroundings, visit a nature center or bring a picnic. With a license or camping reservation, you can try fishing or camp out overnight.
The park pass is good for entry into any Colorado State Park for up to seven days but does not give any discounts for camping, programs, licenses, etc. Place it as a hang tag on your rear view mirror so that it is visible in your car. Visit your local library or check the Participating Libraries List to find a library near you.
More Free Fun at Denver Libraries
We recently shared that Denver’s only toy library–where you can check out a whole array of items including educational toys, games, puzzles and costume–has reopened.
But did you know you can check out so much more from the Denver Public Library, including Chrome Books, a sewing machine Go-Pro and more. The Denver Public Library has partnered with nearby cultural institutions to offer museum admission and theatre tickets for DPL cardholders. Learn more here.
