7:15 PM LOCAL TIMERoosevelt National Forest embodies a dramatic alpine landscape of jagged peaks, forested basins & clear mountain streams in north-central Colorado. Wraparound trails trace ridges and cross high passes; popular destinations include Trail Ridge Road, Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, and trail systems serving Estes Park and the upper Colorado River basin. Encompassing roughly 4,100 square kilometers, it provides habitat for species like elk, black bear and snowshoe hare, and activities from backpacking and mountain biking to winter snowplay and fishing. Expect variable weather—warm summer days, high-altitude chills—so plan gear accordingly and check current trail and road conditions before departure.
