Please click here for additional Grassland History. Grassland roads are marked with numbered posts. These are shown on the Pawnee National Grassland map. If a numbered post is not present, motor vehicle travel on that route is prohibited. You may drive up to 300 feet off of the road for parking, picnicking or camping .
Water is very important, as dehydration is a real threat in the warm months of the year.
In the summer, hats with wide brims will provide more protection from sun and heat when you leave your vehicle. Gloves help protect your hands when crossing fences or opening gates, and a waterproof windbreaker helps protect against the unexpected cold wind and rain. We suggest long pants or trousers and sturdy shoes for better protection from insect bites, cactus spines, sharp pointed yucca leaves, and sudden drops in temperature. Mosquitoes and gnats can become a real nuisance in spring and summer, especially when the wind dies down. Rattlesnakes are a natural part of the environment.
