Getting the word out According to Armstrong, the biggest challenge with the reservation system now is simply getting the word out. A lot of visitors, particularly people from out-of-state, are arriving at the welcome station without a reservation, simply because they don’t know about the new system. To that end, the USFS has set up wireless internet at the welcome station so that unprepared visitors can make a reservation. However, Armstrong emphasized that it’s a fallback system and not something visitors should rely on, especially

Attendees are welcome to explore History Colorado Center’s four floors of interactive exhibits. Local artist Adri Norris will lead a workshop at 2 p.m. and families can create a keepsake in the makerspace area. History Colorado Center will also be launching its new monthly Heritage Produce Basket, which is in partnership with Colorado Proud.
These baskets will be filled with fresh root vegetables, bulbs, peppers, florets and leafy greens, and will feature a historic recipe, a staff favorite recipe and one highlighting one of the basket ingredients from the museum’s Café Rendezvous’ chef.

The USFS staff member gave her instructions on where and how to make an online reservation, and it was overall a fairly easy process once she got started, she said. Konakandla described two small issues, though. First, she didn’t know which type of ticket to buy. There’s a vehicle ticket for all recreation sites, one for Mount Goliath and the summit area, and then one for Summit Lake only. The second issue was that she had to register with the system, putting in her email address and other
information, rather than simply purchasing it. Konakandla also mentioned that, while the process was relatively easy for her, it might be difficult for those who aren’t as tech-savvy or don’t have smartphones. Meanwhile, Yen Zhang, who was also visiting from Chicago but traveling separately, said she made District Registered Nurses are a to consult with students, paren her reservation about a week in advance.
