AA Bar Ranch (AA Barn) Group Picnic Site

Nestled at an elevation of 8,329 feet in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the AA Bar Ranch Group Picnic Site offers a unique gathering space situated right alongside the Colorado River. The site is defined by its historic barn, which provides a rustic backdrop and indoor space for organized activities. Because the site is largely unshaded and open, it serves as a stunning, sun-drenched basecamp for groups looking to immerse themselves in the surrounding high-country landscape.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, with direct foot access to both Forest Service trails and the expansive wilderness of Rocky Mountain National Park. Whether you are interested in fly fishing in the river or embarking on a day hike, the location provides immediate access to the outdoors. Amenities at the site include vault toilets and picnic tables, ensuring basic comforts for group gatherings.

This site is ideal for families or organized groups who enjoy a moderate outdoor experience and wish to utilize the barn facilities. While the site accommodates RVs, visitors should be prepared for a primitive stay as there are no utility hookups available. It is a fantastic destination for those who appreciate history, river access, and the rugged beauty of the Colorado Rockies.
