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.
