This 265,600-acre tract of protected land is located in northern Colorado along the continental divide. Waters on the west side of this Park form the headwaters of the Colorado River while streams on the east side are part of the Mississippi River system. The Trail Ridge Road is a popular attraction here, traversing 12,000 feet to outlooks that provide incredible views of the subalpine and alpine landscape. Still-standing historic buildings and preserved sites pay tribute to the early cultures and families that endured rough seasons in this rugged land.
