The PSICC is nearly 3 million acres and is perhaps the most diverse unit throughout the five-state Rocky Mountain Region (R2). We successfully blend commodity production and enjoyment opportunities.

It is a busy urban national forest noted for the majority of fourteen thousand foot peaks in Colorado and stretching from Colorado’s Front Range to the wide-open grasslands of western Kansas. Over 60 percent of the water used by metropolitan Denver originates from the South Platte River. Once again, we treated almost 21,000 acres in 2006 to reduce wildfire potential and our grasslands have the second most active oil and gas production in R2.

We are proud to celebrate a wealth of significant experiences from historic cabin rentals to the birthplace of developed recreation on the San Carlos Ranger District. The Comanche Ranger District lays claim to the internationally known dinosaur trackway at Picketwire Canyon and continues to excite researchers and visitors alike with new discoveries. With 9 Wilderness areas, numerous Scenic Byways and a full spectrum of outdoor opportunities, it is no wonder that the PSICC ranks third highest in the nation for recreational visits.
