Paradise Park Natural Area
Nature
Paradise Park Natural Area is a protected landscape in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, several miles east of Grand Lake. It includes the upper Paradise Creek basin, where alpine lakes, high meadows, and virgin spruce-fir forest form a relatively undisturbed mountain setting. Paradise Creek is especially significant for containing pure strains of Colorado River cutthroat trout. The area also borders the Hell Canyon Natural Area in the Indian Peaks Wilderness, connecting it to a larger expanse of protected alpine and subalpine land.
