and yet another trail follows along the bank of the arkansas river, popular for rafting |
mighty nice river up in Buena Vista; we heard one local say the river was running at 5,3000 earlier this spring and too dangerous to float. Right now it is looking like an ideal trip; a lot milder. |
Water is now only running at 1,200 cvs at 56F..brrrr |
We know our daughter Jennifer would love this! |

An Impromptu Museum... Hikers pick artifacts from the gold mining days and leave them in this Kiosk. Lots of cool pottery, etc |
left the large iron wheel piece as my contribution |
The Mosquito Mountains are unusual |
Click on any picture to enlarge. Look closely at he caterpillars eating this plant |

A model above Buena Vista |
Zooming in on a newer section of town; they are building something like a town square here along the river bank --more upscale than the historic downtown |
Old gold mine along the trail |
a nice hike... |
