Arena Dust Tours
Description: Fred and Norma Dorenkamp run prairie-chicken tours in April out of their home six miles northeast of Granada. The Dorenkamps, longtime residents of this area, have established good relationships with several private landowners who have Lesser Prairie-chicken leks on their properties. At this time, the only way to see prairie-chickens in Prowers County is on an Arena Dust tour. $50/person will get you the guided tour plus a subsequent breakfast. It is possible to stay in Lamar, 17 miles to the west; alternatively, the Dorenkamps are willing to put tour participants up as guests in their home. They have two rooms with double beds available for $55 apiece.
Habitat: Grassland/Prairie
Directions: To schedule a tour for any day in April, contact Fred or Norma Dorenkamp at 719-734-5226 or by email at arena_dust@yahoo.com. For more information, see their website at www.arenadusttours.com.
