Why go there?

Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, covering vast expanses of Colorado's Rocky Mountains, merge to form a wilderness paradise. Arapaho's 1.5 million acres and Roosevelt's 800,000 acres boast stunning landscapes of towering peaks, dense forests, and meandering rivers. Located on the historic lands of several Native American tribes, including the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Ute, and others, they are home to diverse wildlife, including elk and bighorn sheep. Visitors can explore scenic trails like the Continental Divide Trail and enjoy unparalleled opportunities for hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing.
