Soapstone Prairie Natural Area, Protected grassland area north of Fort Collins, United States
Soapstone Prairie Natural Area spans 28 square miles of open land with trails extending through native grasslands and foothills at the Colorado-Wyoming border.
The Lindenmeier archaeological site within Soapstone Prairie revealed human tools and artifacts from the Folsom culture dating back more than 12,000 years ago.
Native American groups, including Ute tribes, utilized this land for hunting and gathering activities, leaving behind stone circles and ceremonial structures.
Visitors can access 44 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding, and cycling from March through November, while the area remains closed during winter months.
The protected area contains a genetically pure herd of American bison, visible from designated observation points along the Cheyenne Rim trail.
