Situated at the base of the Greenhorn Mountains in beautiful central Colorado is one of the few remaining authentic old west towns in existence. The town is brought to life with hourly gun fights, some historical and some humorous, exciting live entertainment, barnyard animals for the kids, and everything you could imagine in an old west town plus more. John Wayne was shooting movies here in the early 70's, and as recently as 2001 the History Channel was filming a documentary entitled "The Haunted Rockies" on location. The town sits on the edge of the Royal Gorge canyon, and has a mountain gauge train that takes you to the edge to view the Royal Gorge canyon and the famous Royal Gorge Bridge.
