BUENA VISTA, COLORADO! (Stunning Mountain Scenery) - April 2004
 |
Buena Vista! From Colorado Springs go west on Highway 24 for about 90 miles! |
 |
The views looking west, as you come down Trout Creek Pass into the Arkansas Valley:
1) Mount Princeton
2) Mount Antero (left) & Mount Princeton
3) Zoom-in on Mount Princeton
4) From an overlook. (Johnson Village in foreground.)
5) Inside Johnson Village |

Zoom-in of Mount Antero. |

Mount Yale (North of Mount Princeton) |
 |
Mount Harvard (North of Mount Yale) |
 |
Mount Yale and Mount Harvard. |
 |
I didn't take many pictures inside the town of Buena Vista, except for this old building in downtown. |
 |
I went on a short hike, the Barbara Whipple Trail on the eastern end of the town. |
 |
That's the Arkansas River as a young toddler. (Picture quality is poor.) |
 |
The terrain is fairly desert-like, with lots of rocks and spikey plants like this yucca. |
 |
County Highway 304 is actually the old railroad grade for the Colorado & Midland Railroad. An old photo of Midland Tresle, which no longer stands, but is in the vicinity. |
 |
Most of the eye-catching views are to the west, but the east has some interesting mountains & rock structures as well. |
 |
