A nice area to visit if you want a chance to see some wild buffalo and overlook what the prairie looked like to the native Indians and original settlers.It's a little out of the way. A couple of miles down a paved road from I-25 where you'll pass a farm with a herd of buffalo and then you turn right and continue past other farms/ranches. This part is a dirt road, well maintained- as are many in this area. There are 2 parking areas with picnic and restroom facilities. The first one is right next to the actual entrance gate (no charge) and is also where horse trailers load and unload. The second lot is a few miles further down the road. There are a couple of pull-offs along the way with signs describing the area and it's wildlife.I actually could imagine what it must have felt like to be a settler back in the day with nothing to see for miles in any direction and knowing (mostly) that I was totally alone. The only sounds were the occasional bird and the wind. A pretty cool experience., worth the drive if you have a couple of hours.

What a nice place to visit. Very few people seem to go here. There are nice trails to hike, and you get a nice drive on a gravel road to get there. If you have some less agile hikers, there is a nicely paved walkway which ends up at a shelter from the sun - with a very nice view. Beautiful scenery + animals + quiet. What more could you ask for.

It's a very lovely prairie/grassland area. We saw bison and antelope and these cute little ground squirrels. It was amazingly quiet - just wind and loads of song birds and insects. There is a nice paved path to the viewing area and the view is just so good with the prairie land and then the mountains in the distance. The road to get there was about 10 miles of gravel, but you can see wildlife, so it's interesting.

Hiked up to the ridge where you can overlook CO on one side, WY on the other. There was a very large rattlesnake just off the trail that was not rattling at all. We just managed to see it before interrupting its sleep. Trails are nicely maintained, a bit narrow at times so I'd suggest long pants vs shorts to protect from occasional bushes/brush scratches plus good shoes to protect from snakes. I probably would take a hiking stick next time just to tap ahead and warn any critters of my approach. Snake was beautiful by the way, the largest rattler I've seen in N Co. Call ahead or check website to make sure it's open before you make the trip there. Lots of parking, maps, ranger to answer questions. Bathrooms too.

Hiked the ~9.0 mile Pronghorn Loop today. Took about 3.5 hours, with time to sit and reflect. Saw a total of 8 people, four groups of two bikers - so if an escape from the Denver crowds if part of your desire - at least today that would have been mission accomplished. I observed Bison, pronghorns, coyote, horny toads, wild flowers, a few prairie dog colonies, and a taste of what the old prairie may have looked like. Bring your own water, and plenty of it. Leave your checkbook at home - there was no admission fee.
