With the enactment of the continuing resolution, staff at Colorado National Monument are returning to normal winter operations. It will take a few days for all operations to return to normal.
The Saddlehorn Visitor Center has resumed its normal winter schedule of 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Rim Rock Drive continues to be open from Grand Junction to DS Road and from Fruita to Independence Monument View. The portion of Rim Rock Drive from DS Road to Independence Monument View is closed due to snow and ice which have accumulated over the last month. The monument maintenance staff will be working to re-open when it is safe to do so. Please do not travel beyond closed gates to allow for safe snowplow operations.
Entrance fee collection will take a couple of days to be fully operational. The fee collection staff must reprogram cash registers and change signage to reflect entrance and camping fee increases that were scheduled to go into effect January 1, 2019. This fee increase was approved two and a half years ago.
“We would like to send out a huge thank you to the community for their overwhelming support during the last month,” said Superintendent Ken Mabery. “Our natural and cultural resources sustained no significant damage. The outpouring of offers of assistance for our staff from the community was heartwarming.” A special thank you goes to Mesa County for continuing to plow the east hill and to Rocket Toilet Rental for continuing to service the portable toilets.
Chief Ranger Mark Davison reminds everyone to keep safety in mind while visiting. Sidewalks and overlooks may still have ice and snow in places. Shaded areas of Rim Rock Drive will be slippery.
While the government shutdown is over, unfortunately its effects will be long lasting. January is typically the month staff prepares for the summer season. Tasks such as hiring summer interns and employees have been delayed a month. Planned natural and cultural compliance reviews which are critical to summer maintenance work were not completed. Planning meetings with community groups and organizations were missed. For some of the permanent staff there will be projects which will need to be delayed until next year. Please be patient with the staff as they regain momentum.
Winter hours are now in effect at Colorado National Monument. The visitor center is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. For additional information please visit www.nps.gov/colm or call 970-858-3617, ext. 360.

Bear Injured in Wildfire near Durango Now Back in the Wild
The bear cub injured in the 416 forest fire in southwest Colorado last summer is now back in the wild, hibernating in a “den” in the mountains west of Durango.
On Friday (Jan. 25), the bear and another female cub orphaned in the Durango area were placed together in an ideal location -- deep in the forest where they’ll find plenty of food when they wake from hibernation.
Colorado wildlife officers captured the bear on June 21, 2018, after receiving reports from firefighters that a cub was wandering alone in a burn area about 15 miles north of Durango. The bear was then taken to Frisco Creek, the wildlife rehabilitation facility operated by Colorado Parks and Wildlife near Del Norte.
“Black bears are an important native species in Colorado,” said Matt Thorpe, area wildlife manager for the Durango area. “Taking it to rehab and giving it a second chance of surviving in the wild was the right and humane thing to do.”
Photos of the bear went viral last summer and media around the world reported the story. The bear’s feet were badly burned and her mother had not been seen in the area; she was born early in 2018 and weighed only about 10 pounds when captured. At Frisco Creek, Michael Sirochman, veterinary technician and manager of the facility, applied dressings to the bear’s feet and wrapped them in bandages a few times each week. The young bear healed quickly and within a month she was ready to go outside with other orphaned cubs.
The primary purpose of wildlife rehabilitation is to mimic, as much as possible, the conditions an animal will face in the wild to prepare it for a successful release. So, for bears at Frisco Creek that means that contact with humans is minimized. Bears live in a secure enclosure with other bears which helps them to develop physically and socially. Large tree branches, stumps, boulders, platforms and metal shelters allow the bears to develop the skills they need to survive in the wild.
The bears are also fed in a way that imitates life in the woods. During summer and fall in the wild, food is abundant and bears eat almost constantly in order to put on the fat they need to get them through the winter. At Frisco Creek they were fed generously and the 12 cubs at the facility all grew to about 100 pounds.
As the weather cools in the fall, the amount of food available to bears in the wild declines ‒ that also provides a signal that the hibernation season is near. So at Frisco Creek the quantity of food the cubs were given was cut back and eventually cut off.
In early January, the cubs settled into hibernation in the metal containers they’d used for shelter and where they’d slept and hid. The containers – about 4-feet square – became their dens.
On Friday (Jan. 25) the “den” of the 416 bear and her companion was closed and taken by truck to the remote trail head where it was loaded on a snow-cat and hauled deep into the mountains. At the location selected by wildlife officers, the den was placed and covered with hay bales, pine boughs and snow. Within a few weeks a wildlife officer will go back to the site and remove the den door. Bears usually emerge from hibernation in mid-April.
“We’ve found that putting bears into hibernation before moving them has been pretty successful,” Sirochman said. “They are fat enough to survive the winter and have their familiar home. We try to re-create the natural conditions as much as possible.”
The once 10-pound, injured, orphaned bear cub now weighs 90 pounds. When the weather warms, she and her crate mate will emerge into good black bear habitat ‒ and they’ll be wild bears again.
“Making it in the wild is tough for young bears,” Thorpe said. “We’ve done everything we can to give the 416 bear a second chance at a good wild life.”

Rocky Mountain National Park Restores Accessibility And Resumes Basic Visitor Services
Rocky Mountain National Park announced today that areas that have been closed due to the inability to plow and maintain roads, will once again be accessible to visitors. On Saturday, January 12, a limited number of park staff began snowplowing US 36 past the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and US 34 past the Fall River Entrance. This morning, US Highways 36 and 34 were reopened to Deer Ridge Junction. Trail Ridge Road beyond Deer Ridge Junction to Many Parks Curve has also reopened. US Highway 34 on the west side is now open to the Colorado River Trailhead. Snowplows are working today on Bear Lake Road and it is anticipated that it will reopen sometime tomorrow.
Also this past Saturday, a limited number of custodians began cleaning toilet facilities and trash receptacles. Some basic visitor services, including entrance stations and two out of five loops at the Moraine Park Campground, will also reopen later this week. Entrance stations will be open to provide safety and basic information to visitors, but entrance fees will not be collected.
These basic services are being funded with revenue generated by recreation fees. National Park Service officials have determined that by using Federal Land and Recreation Enhancement funds to bring back limited park maintenance staff to plow roads, clean restrooms, and remove trash, the park can restore accessibility to the park for visitors.
Outdoor areas of the park remain accessible. Most facilities, including Beaver Meadows Visitor Center on the east side and Kawuneeche Visitor Center on the west side will remain closed. “We greatly appreciate Rocky Mountain Conservancy’s efforts to staff the Fall River Visitor Center during the lapse in appropriations,” said park superintendent Darla Sidles. Fall River Visitor Center is located outside of the park near the Fall River Entrance.
While basic visitor services have been restored, other services will be limited or unavailable during the lapse in appropriations, including visitor centers, ranger talks and programs. Visitors are reminded that all rules and regulations still apply. Visitors should visit the park website at nps.gov/romo while planning their visit to get the latest information on accessibility and available services.

Statement on Protecting National Parks while Providing the American People Continued Access during the Lapse of Appropriations
The following is a statement from P. Daniel Smith, Deputy Director of the National Park Service:
“During the lapse of appropriations, the men and women of the National Park Service who have remained on duty have gone to incredible lengths to keep America’s iconic national parks as accessible as possible to the American public. Thanks to the strong relationships that many national parks have built with partners across the country, a number of states, private concession companies, and park nonprofit groups have stepped up to provide over two million dollars’ worth of donations and in-kind services to help over forty parks continue to provide key services for visitors.
“As the lapse in appropriations continues, it has become clear that highly visited parks with limited staff have urgent needs that cannot be addressed solely through the generosity of our partners.
“Over the last few days the Acting Secretary of the Department of the Interior David Bernhardt and the National Park Service (NPS) have explored a number of options to address the maintenance and sanitation issues that have arisen at a number of highly visited parks while keeping our commitment to the American public to ensure they have access to their lands.
“The NPS currently has funds derived from entrance, camping, parking and other fees collected from park visitors that would typically be used for future projects at parks. After consultation with the Office of the Solicitor at the Department of the Interior, it has been determined that these funds can and should be used to provide immediate assistance and services to highly visited parks during the lapse in appropriations.
“We are taking this extraordinary step to ensure that parks are protected, and that visitors can continue to access parks with limited basic services.
“In the coming days the NPS will begin to use these funds to clean up trash that has built up at numerous parks, clean and maintain restrooms, bring additional law enforcement rangers into parks to patrol accessible areas, and to restore accessibility to areas that would typically be accessible this time of year. While the NPS will not be able to fully open parks, and many of the smaller sites around the country will remain closed, utilizing these funds now will allow the American public to safely visit many of our nation’s national parks while providing these iconic treasures the protection they deserve.
“Visitors should go to www.nps.gov and select “Find a Park” for additional information on access to parks and sites in a particular area.”

Colorado Parks and Wildlife releases 2019 statewide comprehensive outdoor recreation plan
The 2019 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) for Colorado is now final following extensive collaboration between Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and statewide recreation and conservation partners. As outdoor recreation participation booms in Colorado, the plan lays out four key priorities to address the state’s needs for advancing conservation and sustainable outdoor recreation over the next five years.
Colorado’s SCORP identifies four top priorities:
* Enhance sustainable access and opportunity to enjoy the outdoors
* Promote stewardship of natural, cultural and recreational resources
* Conserve lands, waters and wildlife
* Ensure adequate funding to sustain Colorado’s outdoors for the future
“Colorado’s outdoor heritage, natural beauty and diverse landscapes make our state a perfect place to enjoy all forms of outdoor recreation,” said Governor John Hickenlooper. “I am reminded daily of the benefits outdoor recreation contributes toward Colorado’s quality of life, economic prosperity, and public health. The places we love to work, live and play depend on Coloradans to take care of them, and we encourage Coloradans to take greater responsibility and stewardship of our natural and cultural resources.”
The increasing popularity of the state’s outdoor spaces along with the understanding of how important both outdoor recreation and conservation of our resources are to Colorado make it essential that all Coloradans work collaboratively to conserve our wildlife and wild spaces.
“Though our agency finalized the SCORP, it’s important to remember that this is not CPW’s plan; it’s Colorado’s plan,” said Bob Broscheid, director of Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “This year’s SCORP reports that consumer spending on outdoor recreation contributes $62 billion to Colorado’s economy. The outdoor recreation industry employs 511,000 Coloradans and is one of the largest sectors in Colorado’s economy. Whether or not you consider yourself an avid outdoor recreationist, our natural resources and outdoor recreation economy directly impact you as a resident of Colorado.”
Members of the Colorado Outdoor Partnership (CO-OP) provided a depth of knowledge and heavy input into developing the 2019 SCORP. “Leaders from conservation, recreation, agriculture and all levels of government collaborated to identify the five-year priorities presented in the SCORP,” said Ann Baker Easley, Executive Director of Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) and CO-OP member. “I believe this plan sets a strong agenda to ensure that Colorado’s outdoor resources are here for future generations to enjoy. Now, we must work together to put this plan into action.”
Colorado’s population is projected to grow by around 100,000 people each year over the next 20 years. This will result in additional crowding and pressure on the state’s outdoor resources, including outdoor recreation infrastructure and wildlife habitat.
“More and more people are coming to Colorado each year, and environmental stressors, including drought, fire, and floods, further require us to plan and be thoughtful about how we grow in order to accommodate more recreational users and maintain a robust tourism sector,” said Hickenlooper.
“Our outdoor spaces, recreation opportunities and wildlife are defining characteristics of Colorado,” Broscheid stated. “Conservation and outdoor recreation are completely intertwined in our state, so it’s up to all of us to get involved and play a role in caring for and maintaining these resources and the Colorado way of life.”
