Bad news for procrastinators and spontaneous types: Six Colorado state parks are ending first-come, first-served camping and moving to a reservation-only system. Cheyenne Mountain, Eleven Mile, Staunton, St. Vrain, and Trinidad Lake debut the system July 1, and Ridgway State Park joins the system in a more limited way September 15.
