State park in a forested canyon on the Colorado border combining trout lakes (Maloya, Alice), hiking, and the ruins of the early-1900s Sugarite coal camp. Visitor center exhibits and an interpretive trail through the company-town foundations make it equal parts mountain recreation and industrial-heritage stop just northeast of Raton.
