National Forest & Grasslands
National forests and grasslands are established not only to provide recreation opportunities, but to ensure good stewardship of the land. Ranchers and ski resorts, among others, are able to use the land and its resources in a sustainable manner. But they also provide outdoor enthusiasts with amazing opportunities. Go hiking around the Pawnee Buttes in Pawnee National Grassland, and you might see herds of pronghorn at the base of these grand buttes. Visit the Wheeler Geologic Area in Rio Grande National Forest to see rock formations that look like the sharp coral beds of an ocean floor. Or, travel deep into the San Juan National Forest on picturesque snowmobile trails.
