Join us for the ATV Historical Color Tour!
September
Dates for 2010 coming!
The tour was a smashing success! We are starting to snowmobile so come on out! The weather is great and there is a lot of beauty in the winter mountains.
Buena Vista, Colorado hosts our annual
ATV Historical Color Tour. Participants of this
4 x 4 all terrain vehicle rally and mountain festival will visit the area's old mining sites and ghost towns on self-guided tours, go to the top of a 14'er (14,000' mountain... you can drive to about 13,700'), cross the continental divide, and take in the fall colors and great fall weather. There will be rides for all skill levels from the easy forest roads to extremely challenging...if you dare. Night time is get together time with BBQ's at the park, beer garden, entertainment and awards.
Buena Vista, Colorado is in the heart of 14'er country... we have more 14,000' peaks than anywhere else in the lower 48. Views are incredible and the golden aspens are breathtaking. Walk through old mine buildings, separator mills, hammer mills and drive by the old towers of the ore-carrying tramways. Ride on one of Otto Mears' toll roads. You'll learn about: Cockeyed Liz and her girls; the great railroad race; the tough mining men and women who made and lost their fortunes (and sometimes their lives).
Events begin on September 23rd and go through the 28th. Come for some or all and enjoy our beautiful inn on the edge of town. We are close to all the in-town venues, and yet we are quiet and surrounded by wetlands. The inn is a former church so the parking lot will hold your vehicles and your trailers with ease.
Tired from the day? Ask about scheduling a massage with one of our therapists or taking care of rough skin with a salt glow or sugar scrub.
The innkeeper attended culinary school so you may want to have breakfast here. It's your choice!
We accommodate two people per room and teens are always welcome. Children are welcome when you rent the inn. There is no smoking indoors. We do not accept pets.
