Tour Overview

Join us on our Colorado Grouse tour to experience an amazing wildlife spectacle – the foot-stomping, cooing and cackling of lekking grouse!

Colorado is filled with snow-capped peaks straddling the Continental Divide, immense prairies and plains, wildlife-rich riparian corridors, beautiful montane spruce-fir forests and magnificent canyons. We visit here in April when Greater and Gunnison Sage-Grouse, Sharp-tailed Grouse and Lesser and Greater Prairie-Chickens are dancing on leks trying to impress mates and dominate rivals.

Target species include the 5 grouse, as well as Mountain Plover, three rosy-finches, Dusky Grouse, Pinyon Jay, Thick-billed Longspur, and a host of mammals: Bighorn Sheep, Pronghorn, Elk, Mule Deer, Coyote and Red Fox.
