Hikers Need a Search and Rescue Card

For only $3 per year ($12 for five years) hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts are covered by the Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue Fund (COSAR), which reimburses counties for large costs associated with backcountry rescues. The certificates are available at local stores.  Holders of a valid resident or non-resident Colorado hunting or fishing license have already paid this fee and do not need to purchase a separate Search and Rescue Card.
