Event Description:

April 5th-8th only! Special group, photographer & media Tours March 30-April 4 BY ARRANGEMENT ONLY!

Join CEC, Colorado Parks & Wildlife, the Wilderness Society, Rocky Mountain Wild and the Friends of Northwest Colorado for our Greater Sage Grouse Dance Viewing Tour.

The tours offer an opportunity to view male Greater Sage Grouse strutting their stuff to attract mates. The unique courtship starts as male sage grouse inflate air sacks on their chests while dancing on their ancestral breeding ground (called a "lek").

With the future of this bird in doubt, we don’t know how long it will be possible to view them dancing on the windswept sagebrush sea. Don't miss out on this rare and amazing chance to see one of the West's most iconic animals!
