COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Additional fuel mitigation work will begin at Cheyenne Mountain State Park Monday, Oct. 20. Visitors may experience some temporary trail closures while the mitigation is being completed.

Crews will mitigate 100 acres near Zook Loop, Boulder Run, Talon, Medicine Wheel, Blackmer and South Talon trails. Weather will determine the length of the project, but the work is expected to be completed by the end of the year. This year Cheyenne Mountain State Park has already completed the retreatment of 57 acres of previously mitigated property, along with 19 acres of new mitigation.
