Tours and treks, fishing, educational programs and other outdoor activities are provided by America Outdoors outfitters in the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Area in Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
The Buffalo Peaks Wilderness, encompassing 43,410 acres, was designated by Congress in 1993 in the Colorado Wilderness Act of 1993. The name comes from the thirteen thousand foot buffalo peaks located 15 miles SW of Fairplay, Colorado. Elevations range from 9,200 feet to 13,326 feet. This area differs from the surrounding wildernesses by virtue of its high potential for solitude.
Conifers and aspens intermingle with rolling meadows full of grasses and wildflowers. The fall color display is spectacular. The dark double summits of Buffalo Peaks are two highly eroded volcanic mountains. They were active some 28 million yeas ago when uplifting stressed and cracked the earth’s surface. These aspects offer wonderful experiences for all levels of naturalists.
