BUFFALO ENCOUNTER
What is the Buffalo Encounter?
Our Buffalo Encounter lasts about 90 minutes. Here’s what we include in this unique cultural experience:
It starts with a story...
Here, you'll learn the heart-wrenching tale of how the American buffalo were rescued from the brink of extinction.
You can’t beat the setting inside the barn with its upscale rustic decor that includes an 1800s saloon-style floor, lights crafted from old farm implement wheels and many other repurposed vintage and antique materials.
Things to explore on the ranch:
- See and feel a real buffalo hide
- Breathe in the fresh Colorado air
- Meander onto our covered patio and take in expansive views of the Rocky Mountains
- Enjoy many unique photo ops including vintage tractors and custom water features.
Hay wagon ride and hand-feeding the buffalo!
After we've heard the buffalo tale you'll clamber aboard our hay wagon for a tour among the buffalo out in the pasture.
There’s nothing like being surrounded by buffalo as they compete for treats! Many will eat right out of your hand. It’s the perfect opportunity to capture photos and video without worrying about catching a horn or being tossed about as we’ve all seen happen in places like Custer State Park and Yellowstone.
