cactus bloom 2020

Tucked in the northeast corner of Colorado is Logan County, offering a unique prairie experience for.... wildlife viewing and photo opportunities.

The open prairie may look unremarkable at first glance, but visitors who take the time to look a little closer at the wildlife, plants, and geology of the area will find a hardy ecosystem just as unique and fascinating as any mountain forest. Keep a look out for dove, quail, ring-necked pheasant, rabbit, raccoon, bobcat, coyote, deer, and pronghorn.
