Grand Mesa National Forest----Largest Flat top Mountain in the world

 

Enjoying a Colorado hike with scenic views, mountain lakes and untouched terrain is one of the most popular activities on the Grand Mesa.  Stop at the Grand Mesa Visitors Center to pick up a map and get the scoop on where to hike.  Snow can linger into July at peak elevations and four-wheel drive is recommended on many of the gravel roads early in the summer season where Moose are regularly spotted grazing in the meadows.

 

Anglers will find several species of trout, cutthroat and other fish well stocked in the lakes atop the Mesa. You can cast from the shores of the Mesa Lakes right by the main road or test your four-wheel drive and head deeper into the wilderness on forest roads to get some real peace and quiet.  Come check out-- over 250 lakes to explore!

 

For the serious hiker looking for a challenging and even daring hike, look no further than the Crag Crest Trail. This 10-mile loop goes up over a needle edge trail that gets as narrow as three feet wide with cliffs hundreds of feet tall on either side. You can hike the whole thing or just the upper or lower sections.  Numerous other trails to mountain bike, hike, snowmobile, 4 wheel, etc.  

 

Wildlife of all kinds-Moose, mule deer, elk, black bear and marmot are among the many animals that call the Grand Mesa home.  GMU 421 see hunting section below.

Colorado Hunting

 

Hunting in Colorado often feels boundless, with public lands that include 23 million acres of pristine pines, plentiful pocket meadows and pure-water ponds, so it's no wonder Colorado hosts the world's largest elk herd and the best chance at hunting, or simply viewing, these majestic animals in motion. Mule deer in the mountains, whitetail on the plains or the legendary elk of the Rockies  -- these are only some of many species that call Colorado home. Go primitive with a longbow, stay modern with a centerfire rifle or split the difference with muzzle-loading. Colorado is accommodating to most types and styles of take as long as you have that handy hunter education card (from Colorado or your home state). It's hard to resist hunting among golden aspen leaves in early season bow-and-muzzle-loading seasons, but cool weather and snow often help in a successful hunt. Big-game seasons run from August through January.
