The Pawnee Buttes, Colorado
This is one of the most spectacular places I have visited so far. The Pawnee Buttes are located just a few miles north of Greeley, Colorado. Historically, the Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Arapaho tribes used the Pawnee Buttes as a place for important gatherings and Buffalo hunting. Today, scholars guard this place as one of the most important sources of rare fossils and ranchers benefit from the quality of the grasslands to produce high-quality beef.

Las Mesas Pawnee, Colorado
Este es uno de los lugares mas fantasticos que he visitado hasta ahora. La mesas Pawnee estan localizadas solo a unos cuantos kilometros al norte de Greeley, Colorado. Historicamente, las tribus Cheyenne, Pawnee, y Arapaho usaban las mesas Pawnee como un lugar para reuniones y caze del bufalo. Hoy en dia, educadores consideran este lugar como uno de recursos mas importantes de fosiles raros, y los rancheros se benefician de la calidad del forraje para producir carne de alta calidad.

To go there take I-25 north to Fort Collins, CR14 W. to Keota (good dirt road), and keep going north, following the signs, until you get to the parking area.
Para llegar alla, tome I-25 norte hasta Fort Collins, CR14 W. hasta Keota (buena carretera), y continue hacia el norte, siguiendo los letreros hasta llegar al parqueadero.

Motor vehicles are allowed beyond the parking area but you can walk all the way to the base of the two buttes. Make sure you take your camera with you because the views are fantastic. The best time to visit this place is during Summer early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Now, instead of Buffalo, you'll find zillions of fat cows grassing on these lands. Be careful! They like to run across the road suddenly, so slow down! And if hiking away from the road, whatch out for snakes!
