This 5,000-acre park, crisscrossed by a multitude of trails, offers good opportunities for finding birds that occur at elevations of 8,000 to 10,000 feet. Wild Turkey, Williamson's and Red-naped Sapsuckers, Gray Jay, Clark's Nutcracker, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Green-tailed Towhee, Cassin's Finch, and Red Crossbill are all regulars here. Lucky birders might also happen upon Dusky Grouse, Northern Pygmy-Owl, Three-toed Woodpecker, or rosy-finches in winter.

Habitat: Ponderosa Forest, Mixed-Conifer Forest, Spruce-Fir Forest

Directions: Take US 24 to the town of Divide. Turn left (south) on CO 67. Go 3.9 miles; the park entrance will be on your right (just before the left-hand turn to the Crags Campground). Note that there is an entry fee.
