The Wray, Colorado, Chamber of Commerce orgainizes tours to view the Greater Prairie-Chicken leks each spring. The tours run from late March through April. I joined the tour last weekend and got some wonderful looks at the male Greater Prairie-Chickens displaying and dancing on the lek. Some came within feet of the blind!
Quick note before I share some photos - the tours take up to 24 people out to a blind before dawn. The tour I went on had only nine people. From what the Colorado Division of Wildlife Officer who led the tour said, there are plenty of openings still available for April 2012. You can sign up here: http://www.wraychamber.net/gpct2.php

What a fun trip that would be! We have them here in Oklahoma, in the NW part of the state, though I've never seen one in person. Maybe one day...
Great photos!
