Located in the southeast corner of Rocky Mountain National Park, Wild Basin is drained by the North Saint Vrain Creek and its tributaries. Numerous lakes dot the area, with Thunder Lake and Bluebird Lake among the most dramatic in the park. Mountain peaks reaching over 13,000 ft form a rock boundary on the north, south, and west sides of the basin. Bighorn sheep, mountain lions, bears, elk, mule deer and many smaller mammals live in the area.
The Wild Basin Road is gravel, and narrows to one lane in many spots. It is not suitable for large vehicles like RVs. Parking is limited.
