Help CARE FOR COLORADO with these easy tips:
Know before you go:
- Almost half of Colorado is public land. Learn about the area you plan to visit before adventuring out so you can enjoy and help protect the spaces we all share.
- Colorado’s weather and scenic terrain is stunning but can change drastically. Check conditions before you depart, pack layers, sun protection and rain gear, wear appropriate footwear... and enjoy your trip.
- Journey to places with minimal crowds to maximize your connection with the great outdoors. Have a backup plan in case the parking lot at your original destination is full.

CARE FOR COLORADO
The Care for Colorado Leave No Trace Principles were created in partnership between the Colorado Tourism Office and the Leave No Trace organization to address recreation-related impacts in Colorado.
Here's a few way you can help to protect the state’s extraordinary natural and cultural resources:
Leave it as you found it:
- Enjoy discovering plants? Rocks? Historical and cultural items? Be sure to leave them as you found them so everyone can experience the joy of discovery.
Colorado has more than 2,000 different species of wildflowers, all with their own unique part to play in our ecosystem. Admire their beauty by taking a photo, not a flower.
- Colorado’s trees give us beautiful leaf peeping photos, shade on summer days, unmatched ski runs and, of course, oxygen (which at this altitude, is a big help). But the smallest carving can kill or disfigure them.

SAN DIEGO TOURISM AUTHORITY
Brand new roller coaster hits SeaWorld San Diego!
Hold onto your hat — or better yet, your handlebars. SeaWorld is gearing up to launch what it calls the fastest and longest "straddle coaster" on the West Coast: the Arctic Rescue.
You'll ride this one snowmobile-style at speeds of up to 40 mph on more than a half-mile of track, in a quest to defeat poachers on the wild tundra. Arctic Rescue will be SeaWorld's second big coaster to debut in two years, following the 2022 opening of the Emperor.

MAMMOTH LAKES TOURISM
Mother Nature’s Adventureland is year-round!
Adventure is available year-round in Mammoth Lakes. In fact, there is a lot of debate about which season is best. But one thing everyone can agree on is that no matter what time of year you visit or what types of activities you enjoy, there are plenty of things to do in Mammoth Lakes. During winter you can ski and snowboard Mammoth Mountain or take off into the wilderness on your cross country skis. When spring hits, you can ski and also celebrate the fishing opener on the same day. The summer melts
away the snow, opening roads to Devils Postpile National Monument, 101-foot Rainbow Falls and the gateway to Yosemite National Park. Some claim autumn is the best season because you get all of the sightseeing of summer PLUS spectacular fall colors and fewer visitors.
