## Resource

Drought’s grip tightens on Colorado’s outdoor paradise as record-low water levels shutter campgrounds, boat ramps, and fishing spots across the White River National Forest—where over 14 million visitors once thrived. Seven campgrounds now dry, reservoirs like Ruedi and Green Mountain at perilously low percentages, and even Frisco’s marina relies on golf carts to reach the water. With heatwaves stressing fish and recreation grinding to a halt, locals and tourists alike are feeling the crunch of a summer that’s turning nature’s playground into a parched reality.
