The '''Rabbit Ears Range''' is a [[mountain range]] of the [[Rocky Mountains]] in north-central [[Colorado]] in the [[United States]]. The range stretches east–west along the [[continental divide]], forming the border between [[Grand County, Colorado|Grand]] and [[Jackson County, Colorado|Jackson]] counties, and separating [[Middle Park (Colorado basin)|Middle Park]] (south) from [[North Park (Colorado basin)|North Park]] (north).

The range's highest point is [[Parkview Mountain]] at approximately {{convert|12300|ft|m}}, but most of the rest of the range is around 11,000 feet. It connects the [[Front Range]] on the east with the [[Park Range (Colorado)|Park Range]] and the [[Gore Range]] on the west. It is traversable at [[Willow Creek Pass (Colorado)|Willow Creek Pass]].  [[Muddy Pass (Continental Divide)|Muddy Pass]] separates the Rabbit Ears Range to the east from the Park Range to the north. [[Rabbit Ears Pass]] and Rabbit Ears Peak, despite their names, are not in the Rabbit Ears Range, but actually part of the Park Range to the south.
