Western Colorado · Browns Park Trail

Dry Mountain Road

While northwestern Colorado is filled with pinyon-juniper woodland, this road into BLM land passes through some of the highest quality ‘PJ’ in the county. You could see any of the birds which call this habitat home, from Pinyon Jay to Juniper Titmouse to Black-throated Gray Warbler. Common Poorwills are around during the summertime, in case you’re passing through at night or camping here. Sage flats pepper some of the draws and forest edges, and Brewer’s, Sage, and Lark Sparrows, Sage Thrasher, and perhaps Greater Sage-Grouse are found here as well.
