Mountain Parks Electric is a member-owned electric cooperative that serves some of the most majestic Rocky Mountain terrain imaginable. Less than 90 miles west of Denver across the Continental Divide, MPE employees are proud to call this high-country mecca home. Some prefer the winters, with bluebird days and countless ways to experience the snow – world-class downhill and cross-country skiing, thousands of miles of trails for snowmobiling or snowshoeing, ice fishing, and more.
