Mount Evans, located within the forest, stands at an impressive 14,271 feet and is one of Colorado's famous 'Fourteeners.'
The forest is a habitat for diverse wildlife, including black bears, moose, and the elusive lynx.
The forest was officially designated in 1908, making it one of the older national forests in the United States.
Visitors can enjoy activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing, with trails like the Continental Divide Trail passing through.
It is part of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland, covering over 1.5 million acres.
The forest is named after the Arapaho tribe, indigenous people who historically inhabited the region.
The forest's watersheds provide critical water resources for the Denver metropolitan area and surrounding communities.
