The BLM Uncompahgre Field Office (UFO) is responsible for managing more than 900,000 acres of public lands in southwestern Colorado, including the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area and Wilderness, as well as portions of the newly designated Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area and Dominguez Canyon Wilderness Area and four river systems (the Gunnison, San Miguel, Dolores, and Uncompahgre). The varied topography within the UFO ranges from lowland riparian along the Dolores River (4,706 feet) to red rock desert to piñon-juniper woodland to sub-alpine forest up on Storm King Mountain (11,412 feet). These lands offer a wealth of resources and opportunities for public use and enjoyment.
