Lookout Mountain, overlooking the city of Golden, Colorado, is the final resting place of famous wild west showman Buffalo Bill Cody. As a result, Cody has become a symbol of Golden and the town loves to celebrate him. This includes the city's annual Buffalo Bill Days celebration and an iconic statue of Cody in the heart of downtown Golden.
The statue, titled Howdy Folks, was created by artist Jeffery Burnham Rudolph. It depicts Cody walking down the street carrying a child on his shoulders. Of the many sculptures that can be found in downtown Golden, it is probably the most iconic. You can find the statue in the median on Washington Avenue between 10th Street and the Clear Creek Bridge. It's right across from the Golden Visitors & Information Center.
