The Wild, Wild West

 

Ever want to live in the Wild, Wild West for a day? Rub shoulders with prospectors, cowboys, ranchers and miners? Fascination with the rough and tumble wild west has never ceased during the century and a half that has passed since its heydey. Visitors from around the world are intrigued by the culture that grew up in the American West when the law was young and the prospectors were chasing their new found fortunes. No where else in the world can you find such vivid images of cattle rustlers, gold miners, wildcatters and other characters that have come to live in the memories of the old West.

There’s such fun to be had that we’ve designed a special driving vacation for you to explore the old West, everywhere from ghost towns to gold mines and living history ranches. You’ll also come to better understand today’s cowboys, who carry on traditions brought by Spanish rancheros centuries ago. Beginning with the Museum of the American Cowboy, you’ll visit a mining town, have dinner at a working ranch, tour a gold mine, take a trip on a narrow gauge railroad, visit the 46 room mansion of one who "struck it rich" and much much more. Accommodations at Cheyenne Mountain Resort place you conveniently ready to explore in all directions. How’s that for a taste of the West, pardner?
