Bailey, Colorado

Located in Park County

Surrounded by Pike National Forest, Bailey is just 45 miles southwest of Denver. This mountain hideaway is near all the amenities of Denver. At an altitude of 7,750 feet, it is an excellent area for hunting and fishing. A herd of about 200 bighorn sheep live in the mountains around Bailey. Recently designated one of Colorado's most scenic and historic mountain passes the 23-mile Guanella Pass Scenic and Historic Byway is one of the premier places to view the turning of the aspen in Autumn. Maintained all year round, Guanella Pass ascends to an elevation of 11,669 feet, and is suitable for passenger vehicles, bike riding or hiking, though large RVs are not recommended on this mountain byway.

McGraw Memorial Park in Bailey is home to several historic structures and unusual artifacts. Built by William Bailey in 1864, the Entriken Cabin has been nominated for inclusion in the Colorado Register of Historic Buildings. Built in 1899 near the town of Shawnee, the Shawnee Schoolhouse moved to its present site in 1984.

Park County is approximately 45 miles wide from east to west, and 60 miles long, encompassing 2,166 square miles. Within its borders are two national wilderness area, two state parks, nine state wildlife areas and more territory above 9,000 feet altitude than any other county in the state of Colorado. The County supports herds of elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and antelope, as well as beaver, raccoon, bobcat, mountain lion, black bear, and migratory waterfowl.

The northeastern third of Park County is known as the Platte Canyon Area. This densely forested area is bisected by the North fork of the South Platte River, which parallels US Highway 285 through the communities of Bailey, Shawnee, and Grant.
