If you love the Old West and small-town charm, head to Buffalo. Nestled in the heart of the Bighorn Mountains, it’s the perfect spot to unwind for a long weekend. While in town, check out its amazing museums like the Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum, or take a short drive to explore historical sites like Fort Phil Kearney, Fetterman’s Massacre Site, or the Wagon Box Fight site.
For outdoor adventure, make a stop at the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. Hike the trails to discover geological wonders like glacial remnants, and evidence of ancient volcanic activity among the majestic beauty of the Bighorn Mountains. It’s also a great spot for stargazing in the evening! When visiting Buffalo, you have to stay at the iconic Occidental Hotel. Built in the 1880s, it hosted famous guests like Buffalo Bill Cody, Calamity Jane, Butch Cassidy’s Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, and Teddy Roosevelt.
