National Forests - Grand Mesa National Forest /Uncompahgre National Forest
/ Gunnison National Forest
The Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National
Forests are a combination of separate National Forests located on
the western slope of the Colorado Rockies. These three combined
Forests cover 3,161,912 acres of public land in the central and
southern Rocky Mountains, an area that lies south of the Colorado
River and west of the Continental Divide with some of the most spectacular
scenery in the Rockies.
The Forests vary in elevation from 5,800 feet above sea level in
Roubideau Creek Canyon to 14,309 feet on Uncompahgre Peak.
The Forests include spectacular features like the 355 foot high
Bridal Veil falls; the Grand Mesa with over 300 lakes, one of the
world's largest flat top mountains; Alpine Tunnel, once the highest
railroad tunnel in North America; and Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry,
one of the world's largest dinosaur bone deposits. |
