Often untold are accounts of the humans who protect, study, maintain and advocate for the places and critters so many us have come to appreciate, enjoy and expect to exist in perpetuity.

Enjoy these images from the Colorado Outdoors magazine’s annual photography issue and join Colorado Parks and Wildlife in celebrating 125 years as an agency.

The rediscovery of the San Juan cutthroat trout is a celebration of basic conservation principles and shows why implementing conservation measures is so critical for perpetuating the wildlife resources.

This is the third Colorado state record brook trout caught in 2022. The fish measured 26.25 inches in length and had a girth of 16 inches.

The flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker and roundtail chub, commonly referred to as “The Native 3,” have inhabited our waterways for 10 million years.

A lot of people don’t think of non-game fish like suckers and chubs as being pretty fish, but they’ve got this vivid coloration and are an important component of what we have in the West.
Colorado Outdoors, Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s magazine, features a wealth of information for hunters, anglers and outdoors enthusiasts.
