COLORADO — Colorado Parks and Wildlife is excited to announce that the implementation of the Keep Colorado Wild pass has now launched for 2023.
The Keep Colorado Wild Pass will be automatically applied to all Colorado residents' vehicle registration through the Division of Motor Vehicles when registering their vehicle with the state.
This $29 fee will automatically be applied to the registration fee unless the owner opts out.
The new annual pass gives Coloradans access to all state parks and the benefit of knowing you are supporting keeping Colorado's great outdoors thriving.
The money raised from pass sales is not limited to only park entry fees as the money will also benefit the programs listed below:
- State parks systems

- Avalanche safety programs
- Wildlife conservation efforts
