Pawnee Pioneer TrailsLength: 128 miles - Driving Time: 3 hoursSpecial Considerations: No services, avoid road between Grover and New Raymer when wet Special Features: Pawnee National Grasslands, Pawnee Buttes |
This route travels the rugged Colorado Piedmont, a wide open region anchored by the Pawnee Buttes. This is the shortgrass prairie found by frontiersman, cattle ranchers and homesteaders. Railroad towns sprang up, flourished and declined in the wind, drought and isolation. The communities that remain are as tough and resilient as the land they occupy.  |
