Morgan County, Colorado
Morgan County is out on the plains of northeastern Colorado. Fort Morgan is the biggest town, which has this cool old downtown.
The county is all about agriculture. This area has lots of corn, sugar beets, and cattle. Pawnee National Grassland is also nearby if you’re into prairie landscapes.
The South Platte River runs through it, so there’s decent fishing and bird watching. There’s a big Somali community in Fort Morgan, which makes for some interesting food options. This is the heart of Colorado’s farming country.
