When to Go The prairie is worth a visit any time of year and can be explored via hiking, walking, mountain biking, horseback riding, or snowshoeing. In the spring, bird watching is fantastic, and if you’re an early riser, you could even see sage grouse carry out their complex courting ritual, called lekking.
