About Jefferson

9,499 feet above sea level.

Just over Kenosha Pass from Grant on US Highway 285, Jefferson is surrounded by large cattle ranches and sparsely populated subdivisions. It has a gas station, general store, real estate office and post office. The historic Jefferson Depot is now on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as a gift shop and snack bar. This area of Park County has been the recipient of substantial funding to conserve heritage ranches and water resources for the benefit of County residents and local tourism economy.
