Explore the endless camping opportunities around Minturn & Red Cliff, where breathtaking wonders await. Before lighting a campfire, take time to check the COTrex app for the latest fire ban updates, or stop in the U.S. Forest Service office on your way into town. Prioritize the proper disposal of cigarette butts and ensure campfires, when allowed, are kept small, manageable, and under constant supervision. When it’s time to extinguish the flames, embers should be thoroughly cold to the touch to prevent any chance of reignition. Consider sourcing firewood locally, not only for convenience but also to mitigate the risk of introducing invasive species such as the destructive pine beetle to our delicate ecosystems.
