EcoTourism
Rocky Mountain National Park is full of history and natural beauty made up of the rigid peaks and grassy valleys. Located across Colorado's mountain region, there are more adventures to be had than one can imagine. Ecotourism can serve to protect everything from the Big Thompson River to Estes Park and the Roosevelt National Forrest.
Over1,000,000 acres protected by the national park service that make up Glacier National Park is home to streams, forests, lakes and alpine meadows aplenty. Whether you seek the clean crisp waters of the Flathead River or Hungry Horse Reservoir or possibly a hike on the over 700 miles of trails, it should be hard to see that your travel plans should also include eco minded choices. By utilizing the ecotourism guidelines outlined below and following your own ethical standards we can all work together to protect what nature intended us to enjoy.
-Do your homework. Research hotels and tour companies that have ecotourism policies in place..
-Look for a lodging property that has eco friendly standards.
-Choose eco minded activities. Biking, hiking, whitewater rafting and kayaking can be green activities,
depending on the tour operator.
-Respect your environment. Leave a minimal impact on your surroundings so that others may enjoy it for years to come.
-Request paperless communication. Invoicing and receipts can all be done electronically.
-Go local. Support local companies and organizations that employ environmentally sensible practice.
