Buena Vista Colorado Tourism

“Buena Vista” means “good view” in Spanish, and the town is appropriately named. It’s set in the beautiful Arkansas Valley at the foot of the Collegiate Peaks Range, with 14 of Colorado’s 55 “fourteeners” (peaks 14,000 ft. or higher) within a half hour of the town.

Fishermen can pack up to a high lake or drive right to the edge of the Arkansas River for excellent trout fishing.

River runners will be interested to know that sections of the Arkansas near Buena Vista have earned the title of “White-water Capital of Colorado.” Scenic drives reveal historic sites and ghost towns.

Winter sports include miles of cross-country skiing in the surrounding valley and mountains, snowmobiling on marked trails, and downhill skiing.
