Colorado Grouse Tours
Now booking for the 2026 lekking season!
Day tour starting in a blind on a Columbian Sharp-Tailed Grouse lek. We will enter the blind in the dark and leave after the birds flush for the day, minimizing disturbance to the birds and allowing a “fly on the wall” view of this amazing spectacle. After the lekking stops, the tour will switch to a travel route and pursue lekking Dusky and Greater Sage-Grouse, as well as sandhill cranes and other migratory birds and big game mammals. Lekking season is March - May. Expect a 5:00 am start and the potential for inclement weather. Grouse tour available outside of lekking season as well. The non-lekking tour is primarily a driving tour where we will attempt to find all three species of local grouse. Field lunch and beverages included.
$600 for two, $100 for each additional person. Tour capped at four people. Lodging available for $200. Continental breakfast and coffee included with lodging package.
