Review:

Somewhat of a misnomer, Buffalo Overlook is a site within Colorado’s Genesee Park where lucky guests can catch a glimpse of bison roaming around a protected area. Although these bison are often referred to as buffalos, in fact, buffalos occur only in Asia and Africa, not in North America.

This location is where the first North American bison herds were reestablished in Colorado in 1914. Today, the bison can be seen from a vehicle, as a road equipped for automobile traffic leads up to the point. Although these giants may seem gentle from afar, they are actually quite temperamental and should be looked at, but not touched or heckled.
