Chaffee County in Central Colorado
Welcome to Colorado's Headwaters of Adventure - starring the small towns of Buena Vista, Salida, Poncha Springs as well as Monarch Ski & Snowboard Area.
The headwaters of some of this country's most storied and important rivers are born as trickles that start on the flanks of the high mountains fo the Continental Divide. So too can the Upper Arkansas Valley be the starting place, or perhaps another chapter, in a cascade of memories celebrating a lifelong love affair with the outdoors. |
Folks drawn here enjoy the welcome contrasts to the state's more glamorous distination resorts. You don't need the trendiest clothes or newest equipment to fit in with the locals. However, if you do have a thirst for adventure we have more than 100 miles of Arkansas River to raft, fish, float or kayak in. Fifteen of the states 53 14,000 ft peaks touch the sky here in the Sawatch Range.
We've packed this website with information, photos, and maps to help you get the most out of a 100 percent natural, unplugged Colorado experience. |
