Beautiful place to see in Colorado! You can drive or hike the trails, miles, and miles of scenery. You can see a variety of different wildlife in the area. Free to get in and parking is free as well. You can also see the mountains in the background on less cloudy days. This is definitely a breath of fresh air, great for families and couples who love the wildlife and outdoors. Open from sun up to sun down. Animals are roaming day and night and you will see some! Bison take a while to get to, they are towards the end of the drive. There's still plenty to see beforehand as well as nice-sized lakes! Would recommend checking this out if you like wildlife.
Very cool spot. There’s multiple hiking trails (all pretty easy and flat) with awesome views and it was very quiet and serene overall. The wildlife drive was awesome to see some bison up close and personal as well! A must see experience, and all for free!
One of my favorite places to go when I'm in town for military duties. Lots of wildlife from bunnies to deer to the American Bison. Love all the trails throughout the park, definitely a recommended place to check out.
