Buena Vista, nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountain's Collegiate Peaks, is the sort of community most people only dream of. The beautiful scenery, tree-lined streets, year-round mild climate, clean air, and clear sparkling water are just some of the things that make Buena Vista a truly great place to live, work, or visit.

Not far from town is the laid-back Mount Princeton Hot Springs, where you can relax indoors at one of the pools or settle into a natural hot pool alongside the frigid waters of Chalk Creek.

Buena Vista is considered by many the capital of whitewater rafting for the United States. The area is also popular for snowmobiling, cross country skiing, mountain biking, backpacking, animal watching, and just about any other outdoor activity that comes to mind.
