Clubs in region:
The Middle Park Basin is a small Cenozoic and Mesozoic foreland basin in central Colorado. It is bordered on the east by the Rocky Mountains Front Range Uplift, on the south by the Wet Mountains, on the west by the Sawatch Uplift, and on the north by a complex fault zone and uplift, which separates it from the North Park Basin to the south. The South Park Basin, the southern geomorphic basin of the three Park Basins, is not included as a foreland basin in this report, because it is considered to be part of the igneous complex at the north end of the Wet Mountains.
