Title: Colorado Fires
Post by: acolobowhunter on August 20, 2020, 06:13:57 PM

For anyone coming to Colorado to hunt in a couple weeks.  I would suggest you check the area you are hunting as we have had 4 fires burning in different locations in Colorado.  Many of these hunt units are closed even if the fire has not reached them.  Could save you a long drive for nothing.

There are also lots of roads closed including I-70.

This is the most current info I could find, but there are new fires springing up all the time.

I heard on the news here that I70 is reopened through the canyon. Check conditions before you go, to avoid surprises.
