Why you should go…

Grant-Kohrs Ranch preserves the headquarters of a cattle operation founded by fur trader Johnny Grant in 1862 and bought by cattle baron Conrad Kohrs in 1866. The National Park Service still runs it as a working ranch of about 1,600 acres with 88 historic buildings. You can tour the ranch house, watch living history such as blacksmiths making horseshoes and draft horse teams haying the land, and walk nearly ten miles of ranch roads and trails.
