Buena Vista and hummingbirds - Labor Day weekend. Part 2

After leaving the Red Cliff Bridge (click here to refresh your memory - Labor day weekend - the beginning), we drove down the road and spent most of the day in Leadville. We visited a couple of museums and strolled along the main street. But let’s skip that part for now and jump to our next stop: the town of Buena Vista.

 

Buena Vista. Independence Day 2019 trip, part 2

Back on the road and soon we had another stop. We've been to Buena Vista a few times before (look here if you don't believe me - Independence Pass and Buena Vista) and love to stop by. Just stretch our legs and walk back and forth...

 

Buena Vista, South Main district

Buena Vista is a nice town in the middle of the banana belt in Colorado. About 2 hours from Denver and sitting in the valley surrounded by mountains, trails and peaks. But not only mountains attract people to come here. The Arkansas River runs along the city and gives you some coolness during the hot Summer days. You can walk along the river in the park, hike dozens of different trails or you can enjoy whitewater rafting. They say the best whitewater rafting in Colorado is here, in Buena Vista.

 

Independence Pass and Buena Vista

If you are bored at home and like to have some fun... you always can drive somewhere. Driving up to the mountain is a special treat and let's have some fun today. Let's go and see the second highest paved mountain pass in Colorado - Independence Pass
