Is there firewood to gather in Mary E?

Rae Dawn, there may be firewood to gather but  you can not burn it.

NO OPEN FIRES – The residents of Telluride have passed a clean air ordinance, which bans the burning of
wood year round in homes and outdoors for air quality purposes. We know the nights can be chilly and that
campfires are part of Festival evening life, and we miss ‘em just like you do. Thank you for your understanding
and willingness to treat the town with the same respect that the local residents do year round.

may as well leave the firewood where you find it.

Rick -
Mary E. is actually the ONLY campground you can have fires in, just so long as it's in a pre-established fire ring.

Rae -
I'll let someone who camps at Mary E. attest to the availability of firewood...

I stand corrected. I must be giddy with anticipation.

You will have no problem finding fire wood.  Never brought a hatchet and never had any problem with locating any.   Just make sure you have a ring and if not no worries make new friends with someone that does

Is it okay to bring firewood from another state when I camp in Colorado?
If you are going to be camping, please help protect the Colorado forests by buying local firewood near your destination campground. Firewood can spread harmful insect pests and diseases such as emerald ash borer, Sirex wood wasp, gypsy moth, Asian long-horned beetle, and oak wilt disease.

If you bring firewood from another state, please burn it immediately. For more information visit Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS).
