How To Use This Site
- To plan your outdoor activities go to our
What Do You Want To Do?
section. You will find trip descriptions and maps, organized by activity
type, to help you figure out what to do and where to go. Some of it is on this site and the rest is on
other sites for which we provide links. If you know what part of the
state you are interested in, start with our
Where Do You Want To Go section
and click on a yellow marker in one of our 25 regions.
- To find places to sleep in the boonies, go
to the Where You Can Stay section. There is
guidance there
on cabins, yurts, campgrounds, etc. (We do not provide info on places to stay
in towns.)
- To check the status of such things as snow
depths, river flows, avalanche danger, etc., go to the
Current Conditions section.
- To pitch in with ORIC or other outdoor
organizations, check out our Volunteering section.
The rest of the sections in the menu in the left column ought to be
self-explanatory.

ORIC wants to be your most important resource for help planning your next outdoor adventure.
We provide thorough information for Colorado as well as some information for surrounding states.
And we do it two ways: through this website and in person at an information
desk in the map department of the REI Flagship store in downtown Denver.
We are a partnership of eight federal, state and private organizations. Our
staff is one full-time manager, supplied by the US Forest Service, and a crew of
volunteers. For more information, see our
printable brochure.
Visit us at REI: 1416 Platte St.
