Buffalo is a favorite stop for us when traveling between the Black Hills of South Dakota and Yellowstone. It is just the right size, has lots of history and just enough amenities. The Bighorn mountains are picturesque and have plenty of hiking trails and big animals for sightseeing. We stayed in the Buffalo and Sheridan area before and looked forward to returning.

From Larchwood, Iowa, we headed west to Devils Tower National Monument and the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. After Devils Tower, we stayed in Buffalo to explore the Bighorns and drive Crazy Woman Canyon.
