The Routt National Forest is named in memory of
Colonel John N. Routt, the last territorial governor and
the first state governor of Colorado. In 1905 President
Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the Park Range Forest Reserve
in Northwest Colorado and in 1908 he changed the name to honor
the former governor.
The Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests extend from north central Colorado to central Wyoming. The Forests encompass portions of many mountain ranges including the Gore Range, Flat Tops, Parks Range, Medicine Bow Mountains, Sierra Madre, and Laramie Range. The Forests provide year-round recreation opportunities for thousands of people. They also provide wildlife habitat, timber, forage for livestock, and are a vital source of water for irrigation, domestic use, and industry.
