The Routt is located in northwest Colorado, around the towns
of Kremmling, Walden, Yampa, Steamboat Springs and Craig. It includes portions
of the Medicine Bow Mountains, the Never Summer Mountains, the Rabbit Ears Range,
the northern Gore Range, the Park Range, the Elkhead Mountains and the northern
end of the Flat Tops. The Routt includes 1,125,145 acres of federal land within
its boundaries.
There are portions of four designated wilderness areas
on the Routt National Forest. The Forest Service maintains hundreds of developed
sites including campgrounds, trailheads, the Steamboat Ski Area, and mountain
lakes with developed boating facilities. The North Park area of the forest, east
of Mt. Zirkel, offers some spectacular high altitude scenery. The area also provides
for backcountry access to the Rawah Wilderness, in the Roosevelt National Forest,
and the Never Summer Mountains. | Click
