Plains Conservation Center

This nature preserve and educational center features replicas of a homestead village and tipi camp that showcase pioneer and plains Native American life in the late 1800's. It encompasses over 1,100 acres of short grass prairie with breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains. Come into the visitor center before you head out on the trails to pick up a map and learn about the history of the site. Visitors can hike along rolling trails and are likely to see bald eagles, prairie dogs, pronghorns, coyotes, and red-tailed hawks. Entry is free, hike the trails, explore the visitor center and check out the tipis and homestead village. There is a fee to attend any guided programs. Located at 21901 E.
