Buffalo Bill

The memory of Buffalo Bill Cody, personification of the Old West, is enshrined today at the Buffalo Bill Memorial Museum atop Lookout Mountain and overlooking Golden, Colorado. The Museum is operated by the Department of Parks and Recreation, City and County of Denver. From the town of Golden, which is also home to the Colorado Railroad Museum, the drive up Lariat Trail to the top of Lookout Mountain offers one of the most spectacular views within a short distance of Denver. Just four miles distant, and visible from Interstate Highway 70, is a resident buffalo herd.
