Land acknowledgement

Pikes Peak Region Attractions publicly and intentionally acknowledges that the land on which we live, work and recreate is the unceded historic territory of several Native American Nations. We recognize and honor the rich cultural influences of the Nuuchiu* or Ute Peoples, who are the Southern Ute, Ute Mountain Ute and Northern Ute, as well as the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche and Apache people. We are proud that many Native nations live here today and continue to make profound contributions to our community.

*Nuuchiu is pronounced (New-chew) and means “the people”

Leave no Trace principles

  • Know the regulations and special concerns (like reservations!) for the area you’ll visit.
  • Prepare for extreme weather, hazards and emergencies.
  • Schedule your trip to avoid times of high use.
  • Visit in small groups.

This is Chewbacca. He’s first-mate on a ship that might suit our needs. I don’t like the look of this. Han Solo. I’m captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you’re looking for passage to the Alderaan system. Yes, indeed. If it’s a fast ship. Fast ship? You’ve never heard of the Millennium Falcon? Should I have? It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs!

  • Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite and rest areas for trash or spilled food. Pack out all trash, leftover food, and litter. Burning trash is never recommended.
  • Deposit solid human waste in catholes dug 6-8 inches deep at least 200 feet from water, camp, and trails. Cover and disguise the cathole when finished.
  • Bury toilet paper deep in a cathole or pack the toilet paper out along with hygiene products.
  • To wash yourself or your dishes, carry water 200 feet away from streams or lakes and use small amounts of biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater.
  • Preserve the past: observe cultural or historic structures and artifacts, but do not touch them.
  • Leave rocks, plants, and other natural objects as you find them.
  • Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species.
  • Do not build structures, furniture, or dig trenches.
  • Preserve the past: observe cultural or historic structures and artifacts, but do not touch them.
  • Leave rocks, plants, and other natural objects as you find them.
  • Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species.
  • Do not build structures, furniture, or dig trenches.
  • Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach them.
  • Never feed animals. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, and exposes them to predators and other dangers.
  • Control pets at all times, or leave them at home.
  • Avoid wildlife during sensitive times: mating, nesting, raising young, or winter.
  • Respect others and protect the quality of their experience.
  • Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail.
  • Greet riders and ask which side of the trail to move to when encountering pack stock.
  • Take breaks and camp away from trails and others.
  • Let nature’s sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises.
