Gorgeous views and well worth an out-of-the-way drive to see. But the Buffalo Overlook and poorly marked and had neither buffalo nor an overlook that we could find, even after asking for assistance.

Alison Pilsner

Gorgeous view ! Go up in the morning and enjoy the view .

Robin Kanouse

An unbeleivably steep mountain on a narrow 2 lane road ....incredible views . So exciting it takes your breath away.

Stacy Bo Bacy

Across the street from the nature center is the best view of the mountains !

Megan Jones

Great place for watching meteor showers with our Boo <3 (Ashlin) or great photo spot on a full moon!

Mike Lee

5 miles pillars to post, a little more challenging starting from home. Great climb for focusing on cadence- take advantage of the first switchbacks to up your pedal speed- then hold it.

I live on this mnt and have never seen a bighorn sheep . Lots of elk , but I don't know where that tip came from.

Grab one of the benches that overlooks the canyon and watch all the athletic people pass by.

When Buffalo Bill was buried, there were NO trees . What a difference.
