Went early Jan 2024 - will definitely plan to go back June-July and may be even in September.
Have taken the drive - Really Cool! Not too far from city, actually middle of city to have something like this is soo precious.

Nature in all it's beauty. Drive through many protected acres of land where Bison roam free and so close to your windows you could almost touch them. Lots of cute Prairie Dogs roaming around too. I really enjoyed this little adventure!
Great stop! The kids loved the visitor center and were able to grab another Junior Ranger badge. The staff was so friendly and eager to share information about the area and animals. There were so many animals to view while driving through. Be sure to take binoculars in case the bison are in one of the farther areas.
Very cool spot. There’s multiple hiking trails (all pretty easy and flat) with awesome views and it was very quiet and serene overall.
The wildlife drive was awesome to see some bison up close and personal as well! A must see experience, and all for free!

Beautiful place, so many great views and spots to stop and explore.
They have a drive through experience that you can stop and see all the different types of animals in their element. I recommend bringing binoculars, if you got them, it really helps maximize your exposure to the animals as they are sometimes quite far away. Saw many deer, different species of birds, and prairie dogs.
It’s such a vast area of land that we were getting nervous we weren’t gonna see any Buffalo but we got near the end of the 7 Mile drive and saw dozens of Buffalo huddled up in the fields/near the gate.
Worth the visit. If you are able to check out the visitor center as well I highly recommend. Cute lil gift shop and a wonderful deep dive into some history.

I drove through here twice while I was in the area. Once mid-morning and saw a lot of prairie dogs and then once late afternoon and saw a few bison plus prairie dogs. I went in early September but it was hot both days so I suspect the bulk of the wildlife was staying cool in the shade somewhere. The scenery is also worth the drive through even if you see no wildlife. It’s very peaceful.
Beautiful place to see in Colorado! You can drive or hike the trails, miles, and miles of scenery. You can see a variety of different wildlife in the area. Free to get in and parking is free as well. You can also see the mountains in the background on less cloudy days. This is definitely a breath of fresh air, great for families and couples who love the wildlife and outdoors. Open from sun up to sun down. Animals are roaming day and night and you will see some! Bison take a while to get to, they are towards the end of the drive. There's still plenty to see beforehand as well as nice-sized lakes! Would recommend checking this out if you like wildlife.
