Why it works

Buena Vista is the gateway to both the Collegiate Peaks 14ers and the Arkansas River's world-class whitewater — a single map covering both the mountain approaches and the river access points is far more practical than managing separate maps for each activity. The Collegiate Peaks' four 14ers are among Colorado's most popular, and their approach routes from the Buena Vista side require detailed trail mapping. Waterproof construction survives the Sawatch Range's afternoon thunderstorms and the river environment.

Ideal for
