Cold Brook Canyon is comprised of rocky, loose cliffs among sparse ponderosa forest that turns into open prairie. The trail in the canyon crosses a few prairie dog towns, which are great places to see both prairie dogs, prairie falcons, and other raptors. You also have a good chance of seeing bison in this area too. Remember to keep your distance from these amazing animals. Although they look slow and hulking, they are actually quite fast and can be dangerous.
