Colorado Day Means Free Entry to All Colorado State Parks

Colorado Day means you can enjoy free entry into all state parks in Colorado. Colorado Day is the first Monday in August, August 3.

Colorado Day is Colorado's birthday, which is technically on August 1. Colorado will be turning 144 years old. Colorado Parks and Wildlife celebrates it on the first Monday in August by making all state park entrance fees free fifty free - that's right $0.
