High Park Road

Long before gold was discovered in Cripple Creek, cattle grazed these mountain parklands. Texas longhorns were brought here from more than 800 miles away on drives that lasted many months.

A few historic cattle ranches remain in operation today.

The mountain grasslands sustain a variety of wildlife species as well as cattle.

As you drive through High Park, enjoy spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo Range, the high peaks to the southwest.
