Prairie Ridge Buffalo Ranch

October 20, 2026

We awoke to the coldest morning in the van on Day 22, a frosty 29 degrees outside! With no heater and only a comforter and one extra blanket, I think we did okay. My shampoo seemed to be quite thick, but it still worked!

It was a travel day, so we decided to eat a hearty breakfast at Denny’s before hitting the highway. After a bit of discussion and checking the weather forecast, we agreed to start heading home. Still taking our time and enjoying the adventure but in an eastwardly direction.

And so, we said goodbye to the Rockies until next year and headed to one of our absolute favorite Harvest Host locations from last year, Prairie Ridge Buffalo Ranch near Limon, Colorado.

We were so happy to be back on that great expanse of Colorado prairie! Our only regret was that Baby Bruce (the bottle-fed buffalo with a huge personality) had been moved to a different ranch. We picked up some more PRB souvenirs and in the twilight, we settled in for a quiet peaceful night’s rest.
