The Prairie Colorado

There is another Colorado… the Colorado you don’t see in movies, beer commercials or ski resort promos: The Prairie Colorado. Falling east from a line approximating the north-south path of Interstate 25, roughly forty percent of Colorado is made up of prairie grasslands…and not many people. Place names remain in historic records but the original inhabitants, whether indigenous or nonnative, have moved on leaving only faint evidence of ever having occupied the region.

On the prairie Colorado, more than just the buffalo roam.
