History
History
of the Pike, San Isabel National Forests and Cimarron, Comanche
National Grasslands
The Forest Service is all about sustaining resources—land,
water, vegetation, and wildlife.
Heritage resources are important remnants of the past—prehistoric
and historic human culture and ancient animal life.

New Century of Service
The Forest Service celebrates our 100th
birthday in 2005. Find out how we're preparing to provide
another 100 years of service through Rocky Mountain Region's
forests and grasslands.
Locate offices
on the Pike, San Isabel National Forests and Cimarron, Comanche
National Grasslands, which is part of the Rocky Mountain Region.
The
USDA Forest Service is led by Chief Gail Kimball. With a national
headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Forest Service operates through
nine regions around the country. The Rocky Mountain Region is led
by Regional Forester Rick Cables.
Policies & Legislation
Local, regional, and national
policies, agreements, and legislation guide our priorities and procedures.
Many of our regulations are explained in Title 36, Parts 200-299
of the Code
of Federal Regulations.
Our forest offers a diversity of outdoor opportunities. These
lands are yours—to visit, care for and, most of
all, enjoy.
