North Park is a high, sparsely populated basin (approximately 8,800 feet (2,700 m) in elevation) in the Rocky Mountains in north central Colorado in the United States. It encompasses a wide valley in Jackson County rimmed by mountain ranges at the headwaters of the North Platte River and several smaller tributaries, including the Michigan River, Illinois River, and Canadian River. The valley receives its name from being the northernmost of the three large mountain valleys (or parks) in Colorado on the western side of the Front Range. The others are Middle Park and South Park respectively.

  • North Park is a high, sparsely populated basin (approximately 8,800 feet (2,700 m) in elevation) in the Rocky Mountains in north central Colorado in the United States. It encompasses a wide valley in Jackson County rimmed by mountain ranges at the headwaters of the North Platte River and several smaller tributaries, including the Michigan River, Illinois River, and Canadian River. The valley receives its name from being the northernmost of the three large mountain valleys (or parks) in Colorado on the western side of the Front Range. The others are Middle Park and South Park respectively. The basin opens out northward into Wyoming, in the direction of flow of the North Platte. On the east side, it is rimmed by the Medicine Bow Mountains, the Never Summer Mountains and Rabbit Ears Range to the south, and the Park Range to the west. The continental divide rims the Park along the south and west. The valley along the Illinois River is the location of the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge. The largest community in the valley is Walden, the Jackson County seat, that sits near the middle of the valley near the confluence of the Michigan and Illinois rivers. Smaller communities in the valley include the unincorporated hamlets of Gould and Rand. The primary economic activities in the valley are cattle ranching and timber harvesting, although the latter has declined substantially in recent decades. In the 1940s, wolves were nearly extirpated from the conterminous United States. Wolves were reintroduced in the northern Rocky Mountains in the 1990s and since at least 2014, solitary wolves have entered Colorado. Wolves have migrated in from Wyoming and in 2021, a pack began killing cattle. The valley is crossed east-west by State Highway 14, which enters from the east over Cameron Pass, providing a link to the Poudre Canyon and Fort Collins. Highway 14 enters from the west over Muddy Pass which provides access to Steamboat Springs, and to Middle Park in the valley of the Colorado River. It is crossed north-south by State Highway 125, which enters from the north (from Wyoming) along the course of the North Platte. It enters from the south over Willow Creek Pass, providing access to the upper end of Middle Park near Granby. (en)
  • Il bacino North Park è un bacino strutturale situato a un'altitudine di circa 2680 m s.l.m. nelle Montagne Rocciose, nella parte centro-settentrionale dello stato americano del Colorado. Include una vasta vallata nella contea di Jackson contornata da catene montuose che fanno da sorgente al fiume North Platte e altri piccoli tributari, tra cui il fiume Michigan, il fiume Illinois e il Canadian River. Il nome della valle deriva dal fatto di essere la più settentrionale delle tre grandi valli e parchi del Colorado sul versante occidentale del . Gli altri due parchi sono il Middle park e il South Park. (it)
  • North Park – obszerna, względnie płaska, wysoko położona (średnia wysokość 2680 m n.p.m.) kotlina w Górach Skalistych w północno-środkowym Kolorado w USA. Położoną w hrabstwie Jackson kotlinę otaczają łańcuchy górskie, z których wypływa rzeka Platte Północna i kilka mniejszych, jak , i . Kotlina zawdzięcza swą nazwę położeniu, jako że jest najdalej na północ wysuniętą z trzech górskich kotlin (zwanych parkami) w Kolorado po zachodniej stronie łańcucha Front Range. Pozostałe dwie kotliny to kolejno i . Kotlina otwiera się na północ, w kierunku Wyoming, doliną Platte Północnej. Od wschodu ogranicza ją pasmo , a od południa i zachodu główna grań Kordylierów stanowiących kontynentalny dział wodny. Działalność gospodarcza ogranicza się do hodowli bydła i wyrębu lasów, przy czym to ostatnie zostało w ostatnich latach znacząco ograniczone. Największą miejscowością jest Walden, siedziba władz hrabstwa Jackson, leżąca pośrodku kotliny u zbiegu rzek Michigan i Illinois. Mniejsze miejscowości to nie posiadające praw miejskich osady Gould i Rand. Kotlinę przecina ze wschodu na zachód droga stanowa nr. 14, wpadająca przez przełęcz Cameron z kanionu Poudre, u wylotu którego leży miasto Fort Collins i opuszczająca kotlinę przez przełęcz Muddy w kierunku miejscowości , kotliny i doliny rzeki Kolorado. Z północy na południe przecina ją droga stanowa nr. 125, która biegnie wzdłuż Platte Północnej. Droga opuszcza kotlinę przez przełęcz Willow Creek, dając dostęp do górnej partii Middle Park w pobliżu miejscowości Granby. W dolinie Illinois River mieści się Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge. (pl)
