Buffalo By Jamie Durrant Mt. Buffalo is quite often named 'the family mountain'. As a day trip, Mt.
Buffalo makes the perfect destination.
After a mind blowing drive up through the Mt Buffalo National Park, you're led to a land filled with majestic granite boulders, sheer cliffs, rising peaks, spectacular, tumbling waterfalls and crystal clear creeks, summer gardens of wild flowers and not forgetting the all-important winter ski slopes. Although the glorious surroundings make for a wonderful stay, I'd have to say that a visit to the Mt. Buffalo Chalet caf would have to be my personal highlight. It's a little too close to a British tea party lost somewhere in the hills of Colorado, however I'm sure this strange little stop would prove very enjoyable to all and even slightly more normal than I'm suggesting. Once happy and filled with a belly of scones, jam and cream, it's best to get the limbs back in action.
