Buena Vista, Colorado is in the Collegiate Peaks mountain range in central Colorado. Here, there are fifteen 14,000-foot mountains, such as Mt. Princeton (14,197 ft) Mt. Antero (14,269 ft), Mt. Yale (14,196 ft), Mt. Harvard (14,420 ft), and Mt. Columbia (14,073 ft).
The town of Buena Vista, named for the Spanish word for "good view," is at an elevation of 7,964 feet. Most of the town's historic buildings were built in the 1880's and 1890's and are still standing. Here one can walk the streets and feel as if they have been transported into another era. In addition, the gift shopping, quaint restaurants and coffee shops, the soothing sounds of Cottonwood Creek and the Arkansas River provide an ideal venue to view the surrounding majestic mountains and commemorate the simple life.
Buena Vista and nearby Johnson’s Village offer some of the best white water rafting adventures for levels III to V.
