Things To Do

Here are our favorite things that beautiful Buena Vista has to offer.
Cottonwood Lake

Cottonwood Lake

CO

This is a great spot for a nice scenic drive and hike. There is fishing at the lake, but I couldn't speak on how much you could catch!

Hot Springs Stables

Hot Springs Stables

14582 County Road 162, Nathrop, CO 81236
, (719) 395-3630

This is a fantastic company to use if you want to ride a horse on a beautiful trail. They offer different lengths and difficulties for riders to accommodate for everyone, even small kids.

St Elmo Ghost Town

St Elmo Ghost Town

25850 County Road 162, Nathrop, CO 81236
, (719) 395-2120

If you make the beautiful winding drive up here, you will be rewarded with stunning views and chipmunks that crawl over you for food. Be sure to drink some water! It is at a higher altitude and can make you get altitude sickness.

Barbara Whipple Trail

Barbara Whipple Trail

Barbara Whipple Trail, Buena Vista, CO 81211

This is a nice trail right next to the hotel. Going across the Arkansas, you will have some options of paths to take on your climb to the top. Great trail for a casual hike.

BV eBikes

515 S HWY 24, Buena Vista, CO 81211
, (719) 398-4554

This is a fun option if you want to ride a bike, but you don't feel like peddling. Cruise through some of the local flatter trails that let you see great views of the mountains.

Black Burro Bikes

801 Front Loop, Buena Vista, CO 81211
, (719) 966-5045

If you are looking to do some actual mountain biking and need a local rental, this place is your best bet! It is situated right across from the Surf Hotel. $75 for an all day rental, and less if you only rent one after noon.

Jan's Restaurant

Jan's Restaurant

304 US Highway 24 North, Buena Vista, CO 81211
, (719) 395-6940

Fantastic food! We can't recommend this place enough. Jan's has a good local vibe, and amazing comfort food. You can't go wrong, everything we've had from here has been incredible.

Wesley & Rose Lobby Bar

Wesley & Rose Lobby Bar

1012 Front Loop, Buena Vista, CO 81211
, (719) 966-7048

This is the hotel restaurant, but it is also the best dining restaurant and bar in town. Great bites and drinks with fun twists.

Eddyline Restaurant & Brewery | South Main

Eddyline Restaurant & Brewery | South Main

926 South Main Street, Buena Vista, CO 81211
, (719) 966-6000

This is a great little local brewery that brings great Colorado beer to the town. Try the "Hippie Fries", you won't be disappointed!
