Take your family to view sage grouse in Northwest Colorado during a guided tour with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Conservation Colorado.

One of the great many reasons I love living in Colorado is the access we have to all the outdoor activities available across the state!

Here's one right in our own backyard you and your family can enjoy:

According to CPW sage-grouse return to their traditional breeding grounds every year, called leks, where they perform a dramatic mating dance-which includes the male sage-grouse spreading their tail feathers and popping their large air sacs-and people from all over the world come to our state to watch it.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity March 28 through April 7, in Craig that Watchable Wildlife Coordinator Trina Romero, of Colorado Parks and Wildlife says,

even a casual wildlife watcher will be in awe of this beautiful display. Ethical wildlife viewing, especially of a sensitive species, should be a priority for all wildlife viewers.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife provides a viewing trailer for this purpose during your guided tour so that you can sit inside and not disturb the grouse on the lek.

Space is limited and reservations are required so sign up today for your guided tour here:
