    Pawnee Pioneer Trails Overview

    Published on Mar 1, 2005

    Pawnee Pioneer Trails is the kind of scenic route the high plains are known for – open and endless. The land reveals itself in increments on this seemingly infinite expanse of short grass prairie. Only the distant silhouette of the Rocky Mountains and the sudden upward jut of the Pawnee Buttes disturb the tranquil union of earth and sky. The surrounding region, first settled by 19th Century homesteaders, remains prime agricultural land, punctuated by tidy rural towns and modern-day homes on the range.
