FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carlos Gonzales, Recreation Program
Manager at 719-852-6221 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#600301120c0f134e070f0e1a010c05135220151304014e070f16"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3b585a49575448155c5455415a575e48097b4e485f5a155c544d">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act
(Title VII, Pub. L. 108-447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to
publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new
recreation fee areas are established. The fees are only proposed at
this time and will be determined upon further analysis and public
comment. Reasonable fees, paid by users of these sites, will help
ensure that the Forest can continue maintaining and improving
recreation sites like this for future generations.
As part of this proposal, the Cathedral, Comstock, Ivy Creek, Lost
Trail, Rio Grande, Road Canyon, and Rock Creek campgrounds are proposed
at $10 per night. In addition, this proposal would implement new fees
at
[[Page 19841]]
two recreation rentals: Duncan Cabin proposed at $40 per night and
Alamosa Guard Station at $55 per night.
New fees would provide increased visitor opportunities as well as
increased staffing to address operations and maintenance needs and
enhance customer service. Once public involvement is complete, these
new fees will be reviewed by the Rocky Mountain Regional Office prior
to a final decision and implementation.
Advanced reservations for cabins will be available through
<a href="http://www.recreation.gov">www.recreation.gov</a> or by calling 1-877-444-6777. The reservation
service charges an $8.00 fee for reservations.
Dated: April 1, 2022.

Acting Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest System.
