The broad open valley that is home to Walden, ranches and the sprawling 24,804 acre
Arapaho Refuge in called North Park. Any treeless area, a few acres to 100's of square miles, that is surround by forest in called a Park. At 8100 feet, the Arapaho Refuge is the highest National Wildlife Refuge in the U.S. This lush green grassland was enhanced when early ranchers diverted water from surrounding rivers to increase grass production. In 1967 the refuge was created using money from the sale of Duck Stamps. It is a safe harbor for waterfowl being pushed out of the Midwest wetlands by development. 198 species of birds have been observed here.
