Monte Vista Wildlife Refuge

If you want wildlife you go early or late in the day, not 10-11 am. If it is a wetlands area the spring or fall migratory period is best, not mid summer. Unfortunately, sometime we have no control over these things. (Part of the delay was streets in Monte Vista, Colorado, closed off for the Sky-High Rodeo weekend, oldest pro rodeo started in 1919.)

Even is wildlife is limited the landscape makes it well worthwhile.
