Ever wanted to go back to the Ol' West and experience what it was like during the time of gun duels, cowboy hats and 'purdy' salons? Then come to the ol' frontier town of Buckskin Joe! Where guns and hats rule the arid area, and where the past meets the present, all in one place!
The whole area is themed during the time of the Wild West. You have railways, gun fights, gift shops (okay, so this one ain't that Wild yet) and a town of terror. The town of terror is probably the most famous of the attractions, bringing in at least most of the visitors into the area.
The railway dubbed the 'Royal Gorge Scenic Railway' was created in 1957 by the local Canon City Entrepreneur, for use in the gorge. 50 years thereafter, it still is the most used and most affordable way to travel around the area. The trains run over wooden trestles, with power able to carry at least six cars behind it.
The frontier town itself is one big attraction in itself. Everyday, at least a few 'gunfights' occur, which adds to the authenticity. The buildings aren't to be shy about either, they have that realism that screams 'Wild!' It's all spirit!
The town boasts it's specialty when it comes to food. Buffalo burgers! Honestly, one could never say they've been here unless they have had a taste of the town's other 'red meat'. They really don't have a big size for the burger's meat, but the taste is filling and the meat isn't half-bad. The buffalo may not appeal for most people, so they also have meatless buffalo burgers for the vegans and those who just want a light feeling of what the essence of buffalo is all about.
