While the fabulous
musicians, workshops, and jam sessions are certainly the main attraction
at the Big Horn Mountain Festival, there are lots of other things to see
and do while you're in our neck of the woods, and you might just decide
to add a little something else to your trip. In fact, we encourage
it, and to help you do that, we've put together a little information about
the area and some links to help you with your explorations.
 The
Buffalo
area is known for its rich local history, beautiful scenery, pleasant small
town atmosphere, fascinating historic
downtown district, and great shopping opportunities. But don't
take our word for it; spend some time exploring this area just a short
distance away from the festival grounds. Western history
buffs should be sure to check out the Fort
Phil Kearney historic site just a few miles north of Buffalo.

 And,
of course, both communities offer some very fine golfing opportunities.
The Buffalo Golf course is due west of the festival grounds (550 West Hart,
(307-684-5266). This course features 18 holes in view of the magnificent
Bighorn Mountains, is a 4-star golf course rated by Golf Digest, is considered
one of "Wyoming's best,” and has a fine clubhouse, driving range and restaurant.
Sheridan has several courses including the
municipal
course, the
country
club, and the Powder
Horn Golf Club. Check ‘em out!
But, you shouldn't
fish without the proper license, so be sure and take care of that before
you head out. Sporting goods stores in Buffalo (check out the Sports
Lure for all your sports equipment too) and Sheridan carry them and
you can pick one up at the Game and Fish office at the 5th Street exit
on I-90 in Sheridan (307-672-7418). Check out the Wyoming
Game and Fish Department website for more information about fishing,
hunting, and Wyoming's wildlife.
Hiking,
camping, fishing,
wildlife viewing, and driving tours are among the many activities waiting
for you on the
Bighorn
National Forest that starts just a few miles west
of Buffalo. You can get great local information by stopping by the
Powder River Ranger District on the west edge of Buffalo on Highway 16
(1415 Fort Street, 307-684-7806). Stop by the Tongue River District
office, just off I-90 at the 5th street exit in Sheridan, for information
about the northern
part of the Big Horn National Forest (2013 Eastside 2nd Street, 307-674-2600).
