The mighty Front Range of the Rockies looms 60 miles to the West. In Grover clean prairie breezes blow, meadowlarks sing and people relax. The area around Grover has been ranked by Nature Conservancy as one of the top ten bird-watching areas in the nation. More than 250 species of birds can be seen there, out on the wind-swept prairie. Some of them are rarely seen elsewhere, including the mountain plover and the lark bunting.
Prairie falcons zip over the shortgrass and the lovely song of the meadowlark is everywhere.
Antelope, deer and coyotes roam the rolling plains, along with lots of cows. You can prowl around the picturesque Pawnee Buttes, which are of historic and archaeological interest. You can observe fossil deposits, and hike or bike to your heart's content. If you're interested in getting a feel for how big the country really is, take a horseback ride and feel the awe the early explorers must have known. One of the best things about Grover is that you can be comfortable.
