👍👍 Awesome time with The Adventure Company. Guides really new what they were doing and kept us safe and having a great time. Shout out to Kotti and Eric in particular!

👍👍 A beautiful scenic spot in buena vista where you can see the beautiful views along and you can also catch beautiful sunrise at this spot. There are restrooms as well as picnic tables available. Amazing roadtrip scenic spot.

👍👍 This is the most popular route up Mt. Yale. There are two parking lots and had no trouble finding parking on a Thursday in July. There is a bathroom at the parking lot, and information at the trailhead. The hike is a steady uphill along Denny Creek until you get to the tree line. Above the tree line...

👍👍 If you're looking for a unique and short road trip experience, this tunnel drive is a must-see. It's a short drive from the main street in Buena Vista, and is easily accessible even in a two-wheel drive sedan. The road was clear with minimal ice during my visit. Although there is no designated parki...

👍👍 Excellent train that is well maintained and easy to follow. The beginning starts with a dozen or so switchbacks before meandering through a creek bed and upwards toward the Oxford/Belford and Missouri fork. Great views and beautiful scenery!

👍👍 Great place to hike. Especially great because there is so much space to park here and it's accessable by almost all vehicles. The road can be really tight and you want to get here as early as possible!! Fun to do some 14ers. The traverse is killer if you think about it make sure you have time!

😐 Gorgeous short 1 mile hike and very inviting for family with little kids! We even stumbled upon a young moose grazing in the distance. BUT......after talking to locals we were told they were surprised that the park was re-opened. A few years back a family of five was killed by a rock slide here!! No...

👍👍 UNBELIEVABLE! This was one of our day spots during our vacation and I must say it was the highlight of the trip. We had no idea about the chipmunks until we got to St Elmo. You purchase bags of sunflower seeds for $.50 at the general store across the street on the honor system. The chipmunks will c...

👍👍 This was an amazing hike. I won't lie though, it was hard because of the elevation gain. We started at 10,000 feet and the lake was at 12, 132. The last bit was very slow so we could breathe. BUT there are lake along the way and just amazing views!!

👍 As listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Reference #80000883. Spectacular views and a very interesting mining town after a 12 mile drive down a dirt road (County Rd 390, off of US24). The road is fairly easy driving. No camping in town, but there is an open field nearby, as well as pl...

👍👍 Really awesome place! We hiked to the Alpine Tunnel, and it was incredible up there, recommend for sure. The road up there is pretty intense, it’s all rocks basically
