& Grasslands
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.
