The [https://www.fs.usda.gov/psicc Pike National Forest] encompasses approximately 1.2 million acres spread across Park, Jefferson, Douglas, Teller, and El Paso Counties in central Colorado. Because of its close proximity to both Denver and Colorado Springs, the Pike National Forest is one of the busiest forests in the region, boasting an annual visitation average of nearly 2.5 million people. The [https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/psicc/about-forest/?cid=fseprd915453 South Platte Ranger District] is responsible for 450,000 acres of the Pike National Forest, covering the entirety of southern Jefferson County, western Park County, and western Douglas County. Two other Ranger Districts manage the forest, [https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/psicc/about-forest/districts/?cid=fsm9_032731 Pikes Peak] to the south, covering the portions of the forest in Teller and El Paso Counties, and the [https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/psicc/about-forest/districts/?cid=fsm9_032763 South Park Ranger District], covering the remaining portions of the forest which ring Park County. The Pike National Forest is managed jointly with the San Isabel National Forest and the [https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/psicc/about-forest/districts/?cid=fseprd821814 Cimarron] and [https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/psicc/about-forest/districts/?cid=fsm9_032695 Comanche] National Grasslands. Unlike the unified Arapahoe-Roosevelt, Pawnee radio system to the north, geographic disparities keep the operations of the PSICC radio systems separate, with each management unit operating their own net.

The Pike National Forest encompasses approximately 1.2 million acres spread across Park, Jefferson, Douglas, Teller, and El Paso Counties in central Colorado. Because of its close proximity to both Denver and Colorado Springs, the Pike National Forest is one of the busiest forests in the region, boasting an annual visitation average of nearly 2.5 million people. The South Platte Ranger District is responsible for 450,000 acres of the Pike National Forest, covering the entirety of southern Jefferson County, western Park County, and western Douglas County. Two other Ranger Districts manage the forest, Pikes Peak to the south, covering the portions of the forest in Teller and El Paso Counties, and the South Park Ranger District, covering the remaining portions of the forest which ring Park County. The Pike National Forest is managed jointly with the San Isabel National Forest and the Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands. Unlike the unified Arapahoe-Roosevelt, Pawnee radio system to the north, geographic disparities keep the operations of the PSICC radio systems separate, with each management unit operating their own net.


Dispatching and resource tracking on the Pike National Forest is handled by the Pueblo Interagency Dispatch Center.
