Review:
Colorado may be known for its snowy mountain peaks and red sandstone canyons, but its grasslands are no less impressive. Pawnee National Grassland is a designated protected area covering almost 200,000 acres of expansive grassy terrain.
It is located in northeastern Colorado and spreads into Nebraska and Wyoming as well. The most prominent feature of Pawnee is the Pawnee Buttes, two butte rock formations with steeply-sloped sides that have survived erosion in the high plains. Pawnee National Grassland has several hiking trails which lead to the formations as well as camping facilities for overnight stays. Bird watching is especially popular here.
