****We still want to encourage folks to get outside because of the many physical and mental health benefits BUT please be mindful when you are recreating in our public lands to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Avoid traveling from your local community, and exercise extra caution when taking part in recreational activities. Hospitals and first responders are in high demand and need all the help they can get.
