Colorado's National Park Lands

Four parks. Sixteen treasures.

Every National Park Service unit in Colorado — the four headline parks plus the monuments and historic sites most visitors never find — with the fees, timed-entry rules, and dog policies laid out plainly.

4 national parks 12 monuments & sites Dog rules on every unit

Entrance fees vary by unit and are collected per vehicle at the big four; the $80 America the Beautiful annual pass covers them all. Reservation systems are the thing to plan around — chips below flag them.

RMNP timed entry is live for 2026 (May 22 to mid-October): Bear Lake Road needs the Timed Entry+ permit 5am–6pm; the rest of the park 9am–2pm. Book on Recreation.gov at monthly 8am drops, or catch the 7pm night-before release.
