🕷️ Found a Tick? Here's What to Do.

If you find a tick attached to your skin, remove it as soon as possible using clean, fine-tipped tweezers.

✔️ Grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible.
✔️ Pull upward with steady, even pressure.
✔️ Clean the bite area and your hands with soap and water or rubbing alcohol.
✔️ Watch for symptoms such as a rash, fever, or flu-like illness in the days and weeks that follow.

❌ Do NOT use petroleum jelly, nail polish, matches, or other home remedies to try to make the tick detach.

Not sure what to do next? The CDC's Tick Bite Bot can help guide you through tick removal and determine whether you should seek medical care.

As you enjoy the outdoors this summer, remember to check yourself, children, and pets for ticks after spending time in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas.

🥾🌲 Happy National Trails Day! 🚵‍♀️

Gilpin County is fortunate to be home to miles of incredible trails that connect us to nature, history, and adventure. Whether you're hiking, biking, horseback riding, or simply enjoying the scenery, today is a great day to explore the trails that make our mountain community special.

From the trails of Maryland Mountain to the scenic routes in Golden Gate Canyon State Park, the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, and many other public lands throughout the county, there's a trail for every skill level and interest.

National Trails Day is also a reminder that we all play a role in caring for the places we love. Help keep our trails beautiful by:
✔️ Staying on designated trails
✔️ Packing out all trash
✔️ Respecting wildlife and other trail users
✔️ Leaving trails better than you found them

Get outside, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and celebrate the trails that make Gilpin County a great place to live, work, and play.
