Colorado
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. |
