Yes, we know this it technically a Bison, but the word buffalo is firmly embedded in our North American culture from years of use so we don’t get pedantic about common names. In fact, some of us even celebrate the variation in local names for the wildlife we encounter on our tours. “Bison Bill Cody” just doesn’t roll off the tongue like “Buffalo Bill Cody”. And who would change the CU football team to the "Colorado Bison"?  And ultimately, it means the same thing anyway.  

Buffalo comes from the French for beef animal or ox, “boeuf”.  And bison comes from the Greek word for beef animal or ox. We encourage folks to use whichever word they feel comfortable with. After all, our shaggy friends don’t care what you call them!

Dog Licenses are required by the county. They ensure your pet is returned safely to you if lost. It helps the county know your pet is vaccinated for rabies. (cat licenses offered as optional.)
