Let us be your pathfinder to the best wild life and bird watching
in southeast Colorado where viewing opportunities are
limitless, educational and fun. We have lived the ranch and
cowboy life our entire lives and wish to share our knowledge of
the area and rural life with you.
Arena Dust Tours offers private lesser prairie chicken lek
viewing and we have a private birding and walking trail open to
birders and hikers all year round. We are a
Colorado Birding Trail Official Site
Ranch Tours are available to view cowboys doing everyday
cattle, horse, and ranch work. You can live a part of our
western life with cowboy camps and entertainment,
such as barn dances, horse drawn wagon rides,
western theme birthday parties and much more.
We will take you on a guided tour or you may
go it alone to view these historic sites:
Camp Amache-the Japanese Relocation Camp,
Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site,
Big Timbers Museum, Bent's Fort,
John Martin Dam and State Park,
Queen Lakes, Two Buttes
Mountain and old dam site, Picture Canyon,
Boggsville, and the
Division of Wildlife Sanctuary.

We are located near historic Granada, Colorado, the oldest town in Prowers County on U.S. Highway 50; fifteen miles
east of Lamar, Colorado and fifteen miles west of the Kansas state line. Thousands of cattle were shipped by railroad
from Old Granada by Fred Harvey, owner of the Harvey House Restaurants located along the Santa Fe Trail, big
ranches, and the new Goodnight Cattle Company, who trailed their cattle from Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. These
sites and trails are fun and exciting to visit.
