  • Controlled substances (including marijuana) are not allowed on the land. Anyone possessing and/or using illegal drugs or marijuana will be asked to leave the land immediately. No exceptions.
  • No firearms. No exceptions.
  • Pets are not allowed, except for service animals accompanying visitors with disabilities.
  • Smoking is allowed only in designated, fire-safe areas. Fieldstrip cigarettes.
  • No drinking in public. Alcoholic beverages are allowed only on certain occasions sponsored by DMC. Displays of public intoxication will not be tolerated.
  • Possession or consumption of alcohol by anyone under the age of 21, or providing alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age, is strictly prohibited under Colorado law.
  • Vehicles must be parked in the designated visitor parking lot. Those with special needs may contact Guest Services for an exception.
  • Please observe the posted speed limits when arriving and/or departing the land.

Honoring these rules is a requirement for staying at Drala Mountain Center.
