We will be celebrating World Cleanup Day & Smoke Bear’s 80th Birthday with a BIRTHDAY PARTY CLEANUP at Rainbow Falls OHV Riding Area (just north of Woodland Park) with local youth groups and children of ALL AGES. We encourage families, youth groups, etc. to come camp in the free, dispersed camping spots in the area for the weekend, and then join the cleanup on Saturday. Sites are not reserved, so please arrive early (Friday is best) to find a site that will suit your needs.

The area are both easily accessible sites along the side road, and other sites further into the riding area. The more dedicated FoF volunteers will display their banner/flag/logo so that when you pass by you can choose to stop in to get acquainted or information. Fishing and non-motorized boating is available nearby at Manitou Lake. If you have an OHV please bring it as there are many areas that we would like to get to that are inaccessible to regular vehicles.

Rule Ridge is the OHV Riding & Dispersed Camping Area north of Divide. It use to be a problem area that needed regular attention each year, but due to the public taking responsibility we have not had to do even maintenance cleanups since 2019. Unfortunately, it does finally need some love of the areas surrounding the campsites and on each side of the main roads.. The roads are dirt but in great condition and high clearance vehicles will not be necessary. If you have OHVs feel free to bring them to both scout the more remote trails and to just have some fun. We also encourage you to camp in the area as there are lots of FREE sites to enjoy.

LUNCH:  PROVIDED @ noon

BRING:  Refillable water bottle, gloves, wear sunscreen, a coat, long pants & STURDY shoes/boots

DIRECTIONS to Base Camp from Woodland Park

It is 37 miles and takes about 1 hour, but the road is gorgeous, and you avoid the steep hill coming from the Colorado Springs side.  It can be a bit bumpy, but is not bad.  4WD & high clearance vehicles are not required, but extremely low clearance vehicles are not recommended

USING GPS Maps app:

Enter:  Penrose-Rosemont Reservoir

Unfortunately, it is not all together accurate and may take you on some side roads that use to be shorter, but are now actually closed/dead end.  Basically, once you hit the dirt, stay on the main, heavily traveled road and Base Camp will be on your right.  There will also be signs along the way confirming that you are going in the correct direction and at intersections that you may question.

This cleanup is put together by the Colorado Springs Christian 4 Wheelers. The cleanup will be on Old Stage Road and the trails that take off from it. Although FoF isn’t coordinating this cleanup, we invite all our volunteers to join the efforts and make a huge difference.

CSC4W is an offroad group that works on trails in more remote areas. They are a great group of people that FoF has partnered with a number of times to make a difference.

CONTACT: Kirk Bode at kebode@gmail.com and 719-650-6689. with questions.

MEETING LOCATION: St. Paul's Catholic Church parking lot (right behind the Broadmoor) at 7:45 a.m. June 11th. There we'll get direction from the USFS on what they want us to do and where they want us.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Old Stage Rd/North Gold Camp is a small dirt road that winds around and up from Colorado Springs all the way toward Cripple Creek. The road can have ruts and be a washboard in areas. Higher clearance vehicles are recommended, and 4 wheel drive would be great. Travel to and from the actual work sites can take a little while, hence the early start time and later ending time.

BRING:  Water bottle, work gloves, wear sunscreen, a coat, long pants & STURDY shoes/boots,

LUNCH:  Is NOT provided. Please bring a lunch and snacks.
