The Rio Grande National Forest is comprised of three ranger districts and is located in south central Colorado. Each district has a district office where you can obtain forest products and visitor information. The Forest also has a Supervisors Office where Forest employees are based out of. In early 2023, the Supervisor's Office moved to the town of Del Norte.

Offices are open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and closed on weekends and federal holidays.
