    Company Description

     

    The Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests are located in north central Colorado. Together the forests and the Pawnee National Grassland encompass 1.5 million acres and extend north to the Wyoming border, south of Interstate 70 to Mount Evans, west across the Continental Divide to Granby and Grand Lake and includes short grass prairie east of I-25. The Forest is head quartered in Fort Collins with district offices in Boulder, Fort Collins, Idaho Springs, Granby and Ault. The forest neighbors Colorado’s growing Front Range, including the greater Denver metro area and Rocky Mountain National Park. Sulphur Ranger District, located in Granby, Colo. is situated along the upper Colorado and Fraser rivers on the west side of the Continental Divide. Only 67 miles from Denver, Grand County is the ideal combination of authentic western adventure and unrivaled natural beauty. The ranger district is home to Colorado’s “Great Lakes” region, including seven lakes popular for boating and fishing; Winter Park Resort; and the mountain-biking capital of Colorado. The nearby town of Grand Lake serves as the western gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. In addition to world-class skiing, Grand County offers horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, rafting, fishing, boating, snowshoeing and a host of other unique Colorado activities. Grand County and its communities, including Kremmling, Granby, Winter Park/Fraser, Grand Lake, and Hot Sulphur Springs, are surrounded by snow-capped peaks, forested mountains and rolling ranch lands.
