KREMMLING, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced the opening date for the Wolford Mountain Special Recreation Management Area (SMRA) for April 15.
There are approximately 120 miles of designated roads and motorized trails in the Wolford Mountain SRMA. Motorized use is restricted to designated routes with some routes open to specific types of vehicles only – signs indicate allowable uses; fenced areas are closed to motorized use. Colorado Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) registration is required on all non-licensed vehicles; out of state OHV registrations and license plates are not valid in Colorado.
As a reminder, there is no garbage services within the SRMA, and visitors must pack out all refuse.
The public lands within the Wolford Mountain area offer a wide variety of recreational opportunities including hiking, wildlife viewing, picnicking, sightseeing, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, mountain biking, camping, OHV trails and vehicle touring.
“Wolford Mountain has seen a significant increase in visitation over the past year. We would like to encourage the public to stay on designated routes. This will help preserve this valuable resource for future generations,” said BLM Kremmling Field Manager Bill Mills.
