The town offers easy access to the Big Horn Mountains, which boasts some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the state. With over 1,200 miles of trails, seniors can explore numerous hiking and biking paths to stay active and healthy. Plenty of fishing spots also exist where one can fly fish, waiting for a trout to rise.

The median price for a home in Buffalo is $480,000, which is noticeably lower than other popular areas in the state. Additionally, the town has a low cost of living and offers excellent access to medical care. Johnson County Healthcare Center is a small 25-bed hospital that can handle emergency and other issues. The crime rate in the town is average, similar to most small towns in America. Furthermore, around 30% of the population is aged over 65.

If you plan to visit Buffalo, stay at the "OX" (Occidental Hotel), built in the 1880s and still has bullet holes from when disputes were resolved through the draw of a six-shooter. For an unforgettable steak, try the Cattleguard Steakhouse. The community hosts several festivals yearly, including Longmire Days, based on the hit television show. The multi-day event features a parade, vendors, and some of the best food you'll find anywhere."
