Pawnee Buttes, a pair of 300-foot rock formations in northern Colorado, offer an unspoiled experience compared to Colorado's famous ski havens and parks.
James Michener described the formations in 'Centennial' as 'extraordinary' sentinels of the plains, visible for miles with breathtaking colors and horizons.
Visiting during fall and spring is ideal, as summer temperatures at Pawnee National Grassland can exceed 100°F, impacting the outdoor experience.
Ghost town of Keota provides historical context, just 22 minutes from the buttes, a haunting glimpse of 19th-century homesteaders' lives.
