Collbran Colorado
Cowboys and rodeos have been around Collbran Colorado for as long as it has existed, and for many
years, ranching was the primary industry. Ranching in the past consisted primarily of raising cows,
sheep, pigs, horses, and the hay to feed them! Although some of these family ranching operations
continue, many ranchers have had to section and sell their land to survive. Some of the new
landowners have continued the ranching tradition, though. The valley is home to elk, llama and goat
ranches too now. Our history and heritage blend with the present and become quite apparent every
April and October when herds of cows and sheep are still driven by cowboys on horses (or ATVs) to
and from the summer pastures.
Grand Mesa National Forest and BLM
Collbran Colorado sits along Plateau Creek in a valley at an elevation of 5987'.
Collbran is surrounded with beauty and a multitude of opportunities for those who enjoy the

road to BLM state lands and the Grand Mesa National Forest Service land. The Grand Mesa is home to
over 300 lakes. Lands End Road takes you to the west edge and is an adventurous route connecting
Hwy 65 to Hwy 50.

Surrounded on the north and east by 9,000 foot Battlement Mesa, and on the south and west by 11,000
foot Grand Mesa, the largest flat-topped mountain in the world, the Plateau Valley is a hidden gem
you'll want to find. The top of the Grand Mesa covers an area of roughly 30 by 50 miles, has over
200 stocked trout lakes, over 85 miles of roads and at least 269 miles of hiking, mountain biking,
ATV, jeep, 4WD, and/or horseback trails.

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.
