Colorado
National Forests - Arapahoe National Forest / Roosevelt National Forest
/ Pawnee Grassland
The Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee
National Grassland encompass roughly 1.5 million acres of public land
in the Rocky Mountains and foothills and short grass prairie of north
central Colorado. Boundaries extend north to the Wyoming border and
south passed I-70 to Mount Evans. The Arapaho National Forest includes
lands on both sides of the Continental Divide, while the Roosevelt National
Forest is confined to the eastern slope and the Pawnee National Grassland
is east of I-25. The Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee
National Grassland are divided into five Ranger Districts ( Boulder,
Canyon Lakes, Clear Creek, Pawnee and Sulphur). Most management occurs
at the district level.
Topography on the forests varies from rolling hills to
snow covered mountain peaks at over 14,000 feet in elevation.
