National Forests - Routt National Forest
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. |
