Be very careful camping here. Shooting in a camping area is not tolerated (allowed by NFS), but people who think they know better start firing away. Ricocheting bullets! Bring water and shade. I would not recommend this area for families.
Beautiful, clean, lots of great trails to ride and hike. Plenty of eye candy to photograph. Perfect vantage point to photograph sunsets and the Collegiate mountains. Not too far from Buena Vista. Dog friendly, nice picnic areas, clean outdoor privvies.
Beautiful covered bridge we found… The foliage for the fall was fabulous. We really enjoyed it.
Here in Buena Vista we are blessed to have the four mile area. It is an incredible reserve area with many square miles of some of most beautiful wilderness in Colorado. Preserved as it has been for tens of thousands of years since the glaciers receded and the first people, the native Americans, lived here and cherished this incredible place as their sacred home. Most notably the Ute Arapaho and Lakota peoples. Who wintered in this area on the east side of the Arkansas valley as it was milder with less snow pack and abundant game and pinion trees, which produced pinion nuts. Which were a staple food to most. Often one can still find traces of their incredible lives in this incredible place that they considered very sacred. As well as the Spanish explorers and early white settlers. And as they cherished this place and found it sacred. So will you. And please respect this place as well, and don't litter, and tread lightly. And only burn fires in designated fire pits in designated campgrounds. And please respect this incredible preserve and leave any artifacts for our grandchildren and their grandchildren to learn about their ancestors in a good way.and for all future generations to enjoy just as it is, unspoiled, for many many generations to come.
Found some great camping here with good views in late September. Likely very busy much of the year, we got lucky to get the only spot as someone else pulled out. Biking and hiking trailheads within walking distance of the sites. Roads well maintained in and out.
