COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Colorado's state parks might get more visitors in the summer, but they're known for offering up a wide range of opportunity for winter recreation, too. And for many Coloradans, the entrance fee has already been paid for.
In case you didn't know, Coloradans can get a 'Keep Colorado Wild Pass' that allows for unlimited state park visits for $29 when registering a vehicle through the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The pass is included in your registration total unless you opt out, and is linked to your license plate. Visitors can also buy daily passes for $10.
