The team at Visit Fort Collins has announced all sorts of cowboy amusements and tastes of the West happening in the area and neighboring communities.
Ten years ago, Colorado State University’s bison reintroduction program released 10 bison that initially made up the Laramie Foothills Bison Conservation Herd into Soapstone Prairie Natural Area, which is owned by the City of Fort Collins and covers 28 square miles. It was the first herd established using assisted reproductive technologies and the only known university reintroduction program using Yellowstone bison or their genetics. For groups interested in a chance to see the herd, Soapstone Prairie Natural Area can be visited from March through November.
The Tattered Saddle in nearby Livermore offers visitors custom horseback excursions—everything from trail and sunset rides (and adventures for more advanced equestrians) to Scratch & Ride Grooming Experiences that involve saddling a horse.
