🪦🐾 Visiting Buffalo Bill’s Gravesite on Lookout Mountain – Jefferson County, Colorado 🏔️

Simba 🐾 and I took a trip to Lookout Mountain in Jefferson County, Colorado to visit one of the most historic sites of the American West — the final resting place of William “Buffalo Bill” Cody.

Buffalo Bill was a legendary showman, scout, and frontiersman whose Wild West shows made him a household name in the late 1800s and early 1900s. His gravesite and museum are a tribute to his larger-than-life legacy and his role in shaping the mythology of the American frontier.

📍 Location & Highlights

🪦 Gravesite of Buffalo Bill Cody — a peaceful memorial to one of the West’s most famous figures.
🏛️ Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave — exhibits showcasing his life, Wild West shows, and frontier history.
🌄 Scenic Views — panoramic overlooks of the Rocky Mountains and Colorado plains.
🐾 Dog-Friendly Grounds — Simba loved exploring the paths and taking in the crisp mountain air.

🐾 Simba’s Adventure

While I reflected on the history and explored the museum, Simba enjoyed wandering the outdoor areas around the gravesite. The combination of mountain trails, forest air, and wide-open spaces made this stop as enjoyable for him as it was for me.
