Enjoy Your Park Safely Staunton State Park offers you the best in a Colorado mountain experience. But keep in mind: • The park ranges in elevation from 8,100 to over 10,000 feet, so bring water, sunscreen, and a hat to protect against dehydration and sunburn. • Mountain weather can change quickly. Dress in layers and carry rain gear. • Cell phone service in the park is limited. In case of an emergency call 911. First Aid assistance is available from park rangers. Trails There’s a trail suitable for every visitor who wants to experience the park up close and personal—on foot, by bike, or on horseback. The trails are clearly marked, so it’s easy to find the right trail type for you. Share the trail and respect other users by: • Staying on the trail. Shortcutting destroys vegetation and increases erosion. • Moving to the uphill side of the trail to let others pass. • Alerting other users before you pass them. • Admiring wildflowers and rocks, but leaving them for others to enjoy. • Keeping your pets on a leash at all times.
