Yesterday, the Curious Souls decided to take the dog for a walk. We were looking for somewhere that we had not yet been before, so we chose the Pawnee National Grassland. There were two very short trails in the western part of the grassland near Crow Valley Recreation Area. We hiked them both in under an hour (I said very short, right?) and were left wanting more. So, eastward we went on our way to Pawnee Buttes . Along the way, we discovered the Cedar Creek Wind Farm and plenty of wide open space. After the Buttes, we looked at the map and discovered that we were only about 20 miles south of Nebraska. And, to seal the deal, we noticed that just over the border was also the highest point in the state. Here we are at the aptly named Panorama Point. While only 5,424 feet in elevation it did have some lovely, long, expansive views into the seemingly infinite plains around us. As far as either of us could remember, this is the first time we actually visited the highest
nice parking job!

ReplyDeleteEllen, If you didn't have Jon pull up next to a car full of women and have him give them the creepy van guy stare, you really missed out. With that beard, Jon is a spot on!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leanne and JB! I pride myself on my big ol' van parking skills.
ReplyDelete@Matt: We really did miss out on a golden opportunity. Maybe I'll do that on the wintertime trip across the country back to CO.
