Buffalo Overlook — Attraction in Golden

I frequent this area a lot and I love seeing the wild life. During the summer months you can see the bison herd North of I-70, but during the winter months they are typically moved to the South of I-70. They have their own private access below I-70 to go from one side to the other.

The south pasture doesn't have an overlook that is accessible via road; you have to hike along the Genesee Mountain...
