About Sugarite Canyon State Park
A former coal-mining camp from the early 1900s sits within the park, with remains of that operation still present on the land. The park spans the meeting point of the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, giving it terrain shaped by both regions. It also lies directly on the Colorado-New Mexico state line, a boundary that runs through the park itself.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
