ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK - Due to continued extreme fire danger and current fire activity in the state officials at Rocky Mountain National Park have banned all fires within the park until further notice.
Campfires, including charcoal briquette fires, are not permitted anywhere within the park.
Smoking is also prohibited, except within an enclosed vehicle, or stopped within a developed paved area devoid of vegetation for at least three feet. Visitors are reminded to properly extinguish all lighted smoking materials and dispose of properly.
Petroleum-fueled stoves and grills will be permitted in developed campgrounds, picnic areas and in designated backcountry campsites. Stoves must be able to be turned on and off.
Fireworks are always prohibited within the park.
Rocky Mountain National Park always has Stage 1 fire restrictions in place, where campfires are prohibited in the park, except within designated campfire rings in picnic areas and front-country campgrounds.
The last time a total fire ban (Stage 2 fire restrictions) was in place in the park was in June of 2012.
