 Buena
Vista, Colorado hosts this 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... the greatest
concentration of 14,000' peaks on the continent. Views
are unbeatable and the fall colors are amazing. Walk through
old mine buildings, separator mills, hammer mills and drive
by the old towers of the ore-carrying tramways. You'll
learn about: Cockeyed Liz and her girls; Otto Mears and
his  Toll Roads (we will ride one); the great railroad race;
the tough mining men and women who made and lost their
fortunes (and sometimes their lives).
A guide
book is available for purchase (all net proceeds
will go to charity) with maps and historical information about
the areas. Outriders will be on the trails for information
and assistance. These Outriders will throughout the day, place
large 'drool's gold' nuggets near the trail.
Riders finding these 'nuggets' may turn them in for prizes
at that night's dinner. Number of riders is limited, so reserve
your spot.
