In the shadow of the Continental Divide, Caribou Ranch offers a variety of landscapes for you to explore including forests, meadows, wetlands, and a historical mining complex. The park is closed annually from April 1 through June 30 to protect spring migratory birds and elk calving and rearing.

Mountain Bike, Hike, Off road, cross country ski, snow shoe, sled! Depending upon the season this is a locals favorite. Be aware that in the winter months ( November thru June) this may be a 4x4 only drive due to snow. Our summer here does not start until July. IF you are up for a mountain bike adventure, You can rent a fat tire bike at Salto in Nederland ride up Caribou road from town.
