Offices
The Rio Grande National Forest is comprised of three ranger districts and is located in south central Colorado. Each district has a district office where you can obtain forest products and visitor information. The Forest also has a Supervisors Office (headquarters) where Forest employees are based out of. In early 2023, the Supervisor's Office moved from Monte Vista to the town of Del Norte.
Offices are open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and closed on weekends and federal holidays.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Services at each office may be limited on a daily basis. For example, we may not be able to issue firewood permits at all times. We recommend calling the office you plan to visit BEFORE making the trip.
