State Parks: Affordable, Nearby, And Fun For The Family
Summer is over and the trip to Yellowstone a memory but don’t put that tent and sleeping bag away—not yet. There is a whole bundle of fun to be had just a few hours away from home at one of your state parks. Camping, hiking, fishing, learning about nature or the past; state parks offer opportunities for fantastic weekend getaways at affordable prices.
Attracting tens of millions of visitors per year, state parks are also vital cornerstones of a state’s economy and quality of life, protecting favorite landscapes and historic sites for present and future generations. Regardless of where you live, there is a state park nearby you can visit for a day or for a fun-filled weekend.
State parks also offer great learning opportunities for children. For example Colorado State Parks introduced a new Family Activity Backpacks, turning a visit to the parks into a learning adventure. The packs include two large bug boxes, magnifiers, various guide books covering birds, insects, wildflowers and pond or tree life depending on the park, binoculars and a nature journal. Family Activity Backpacks may be checked out free-of-charge at the park visitor center or office for day use and returned before heading home or back to the campsite. Twenty-four out of 42 Colorado State Parks now have Family Activity Backpacks on-hand.
Enjoy the beautiful days of autumn—visit a state park!

The series of six maps provide detailed road information on a shaded relief base, show recreation sites in national forests, BLM and state lands, national parks and monuments, wildlife refuges, land ownership (public and private), hunting units and other jurisdictional boundaries, special management units such as wilderness areas, GPS grids, campgrounds, museums, and other attractions. The scale of the maps is 1:375,000. The reverse side of each map provides general information about public lands, helpful hints, rules and regulations, land use ethics, emergency and contact numbers and outdoor destination opportunities available in New Mexico.
The maps were developed with the cooperation of federal and state agencies explained a spokesperson for the Association. “We felt there was a need for affordable maps to outdoor destinations in New Mexico; maps that had the latest and most reliable information about where to go and how to get there.”
