Of course, you'll have to stay behind the rails, but you're still getting pretty close to an animal we don't see often.
During the summer, you can also go on a number of other tours through this facility.

What's better than supporting local wildlife directly? Of course, it doesn't all go to buffalo. There's a number of other species like elk and deer that also make this area their home.
The best part of the trip is appreciating the beauty of the prairie.
