Mountain Counties Closed to Tourism–Gunnison to Issue Fines and Jail Time

Chaffee County Public Health is proclaiming that Chaffee County is NOT open for visitors, tourism, or leisure at this time. 

Public lands are open only to residents of Chaffee County.  Tourists are asked to return home under the Stay at Home orders. 

Gunnison County officials initiated a public health order that says tourist must stay out of the county.  If someone doesn’t follow the Gunnison County order, they could be hit with a fine of up to $5,000 and spend 18 months in county jail.
