A note on Colorado State Trust Lands:

State Trust Lands are not now, nor have they ever been public lands available for public access. The State Trust Lands program was initiated by the federal government which granted these lands to states at statehood for the purpose of monetizing in order to fund public schools. Grazing leases, oil & gas leases, hunting & recreation leases are just a few of the ways these lands are monetized to raise money to fund public schools and in 2018 alone, Colorado State Trust Lands distributed over $122.3M to Colorado public schools. By booking this property and other State Trust Land properties on LandTrust, you can be happy to know you're directly funding public schools through your outdoor adventures.
