In the late 1800’s, the Denver and South Park Railroad wound its way along the Platte River from Denver, eventually to Breckenridge. Along its mountain route, the railroad town of Pine was founded. Upstream on Elk Creek, the summer community of Sphinx Park was established. The rustic log cabins still remain, perched precariously on rock outcroppings and ledges. The center of activity was the Sphinx Park Mercantile, which now houses the Bucksnort Saloon. This real mountain bar, with its graffiti-covered, rough-sawn walls, logs-on-end bar stools and cable-reel tables, is famous for its good food, drink, friendly saloon keepers and fun-loving customers.
