Buena Vista, Colorado is hosting
the second annual ATV Historical Color Tour
September 22-25, 2004.
Participants will visit the 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 Carnage Canyon if you dare.
Evening parties include BBQ s, 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
tough mining men and women
who made and lost their fortunes (and sometimes
their lives).
A
guide book is available with maps and historical
information about the areas. Outriders will be on
the trails for information and assistance. Number
of riders is limited, so reserve your spot.
