Let’s See It! Introducing the Elevation Outdoors Recreates Responsibly Photo Contest

Gov. Jared Polis has made wearing a mask indoors in public places mandatory in Colorado as we work to limit the spread of COVID-19—but what about recreating responsibly when you are outdoors?

Wearing a mask on the trail or when in proximity to others outdoors is the key to responsible recreation in these trying times. If we engage in responsible recreation, we can make a difference when it comes to getting back to normal.

We know that you have been doing just that—wearing masks while hiking, biking, climbing, running, or just out near others. Now is the time to show everyone how you are stepping up.

In collaboration with Colorado Recreates Responsibly Week this week, we are proud to introduce the Elevation Outdoors Recreates Responsibly Photo Contest.

We want to see your best photos of you and/or your family and friends recreating responsibly, wearing masks or face coverings in the outdoors.

So let’s See It!
