Terry Bison Ranch

Fort Collins is just 30 minutes from the Colorado-Wyoming border, so you have to go up there, even if you don't know why. Also right there at the border is the Terry Bison Ranch. That 30 minute drive was a disappointment, because you feel like you are driving away from the mountains. By the time you get up to Cheyenne, the geography is as flat as a pancake. But we did take a different route home, and it was BEAUTIFUL! OK, back to the buffalo.

For 12$ a ticket, you can ride a train (a V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W train, about .5 mph!) into the middle of a real live buffalo heard.














You also get to see camels, but apparently you can see those for free from the highway.































Here's the buffalo, and also highlighting K's missing 2 front teeth!


































We were close enough to this guy to feel the jolt when he rammed his horns into the side of the car, and shoo away the flies that were swarming around his back. Can't say I've even been that eye-to-eye with a bison.




















































Mommies can have fun on the swing too.



















This woolly mamouth wasn't actually at the bison ranch, but one last great shot of the girls with Nana & Pags. We sure did have a good time!
