About Us

Buckskin Joe: A Colorado Attraction

Yes, we are open.  Many people have heard rumors that we are closed, closed until fall or that we burned down in the recent Parkdale Fire.  Those rumors are not true.  We are open for business as usual, the fire is out, the weather is gorgeous so come on down and see us!



Nestled in the heart of Royal Gorge Country, you’ll feel like you jumped out of the 21st century back into old west where the name of the game was fast guns and slow travel. At Buckskin Joe Frontier Town and Railway, we have provided millions of guests a unique experience and have helped create a ton of fun memories, since 1958.

Start your day’s adventure by hopping on board the Royal Gorge Scenic Railway. This "little train" provides a super big view of the Royal Gorge and bridge from the upper north rim. At Point Alta Vista, reality sets in at the monumental task it took to build the bridge. In short, the Royal Gorge is awe-inspiring!
