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.
