The Mount Blue Sky Field Station is owned by the University of Denver and operated under a special-use permit from the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forest of the U.S. Forest Service.
The facility is available year-round for use by academic groups and individual researchers interested in the geology or ecology of the Colorado Front Range. It is an ideal location for summer research groups, field camps, or field courses. Many campus organizations and departments also choose to use the facility for weekend retreats.
This “campus” in the mountains has been in operation since 1937.
