The Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is a 15,988-acre national wildlife refuge just eight miles northeast of downtown Denver that is home to more than 330 species of wildlife. Established on the grounds of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, which was built in 1942 to manufacture chemical weapons and later cleared of all the pollutants, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge offers a habitat for a wide range of animals, including deer, coyote, bison, racoons, black-tailed prairie dogs, black-footed ferrets, and a winter communal roost of bald eagles.
