Buffalo Statues

I never really noticed bison statues before, but suddenly these monuments to the noble beast seem to be everywhere!

Scottsdale, Arizona

This is one of a pair of bison statues that guard the entrance to the Bison Museum.
Directions: 16641 North 91st Street (south of Bell Road).

Flagstaff, Arizona

In the 1960's, Buffalo Park was an amusement park and menagerie which included elk, deer ... and bison. The animals are long gone; the only remaining vestiges of the original Buffalo Park are the entrance gateway and this bison statue which stands guard in front. The site is now a Flagstaff city park where one can hike, jog or bicycle in the shadow of the San Francisco Peaks.
Directions: 2400 N. Gemini Drive (north end of Gemini Drive, on the north edge of Flagstaff).

Valle, Arizona

I found this statue beside the highway on the way to the Grand Canyon, next to a motel and gas station. Why? I dunno. There were no signs, except one warning "Keep Off The Buffalo!"
Directions: 28 miles north of Williams on Highway 64, at the intersection of Highway 180 (NE corner of intersection).

Holbrook, Arizona

This statue is small, but makes up for it by being surrounded by large pieces of petrified wood.
Directions: At Scotty & Son Towing and Auto Repair, corner of Navajo Boulevard and (appropriately enough) E. Buffalo Street.
Last Visited: July 2008.

Williams, Arizona

Appropriately, this statue stands in front of the Buffalo Pointe Inn and Restaurant.
Directions: 437 W. Route 66.

Seligman, Arizona

This giant is found in front of the shopping center that looks like an Old West town ... including a restaurant that serves Buffalo Burgers!
