Buffalo

Buffalo, Wyoming is tucked away between the rolling plains of the Old West and the towering peaks of the Bighorn Mountains.

Whether it’s beautiful scenery, wide open spaces, outdoor recreation or getting a sense of history through local museums, Buffalo and its surrounding communities are places you’ll love to visit. Enjoy the Western hospitality of restaurants from family fare to fine dining, in addition to shops, art galleries and a wide selection of lodging. Sit down for breakfast at the Busy Bee Cafe, a name you might recognize from the hit book and television series, Longmire, which took much of its inspiration from the Buffalo area. Stay at the historic Occidental Hotel, a western gem that once welcomed Teddy Roosevelt, Calamity Jane and other Old West icons. Or experience the Western lifestyle yourself at one of the area’s guest ranches, like Paradise Guest Ranch. Head into nearby Bighorn National Forest to enjoy fishing streams and alpine lakes, hiking among breathtaking scenery and camping in serene areas like the South Fork Campground. Winter activities include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and snowmobiling.
