We got up in the morning and drove from our campground in Salida west to Monarch Pass - WOW!

Then we headed northeast up Hwy 285 towards Buena Vista....and found where we want to retire or quit our current jobs and open a B&B and rafting outfit! In a valley just south of Buena vista, the views are GORGEOUS....to the west are the Collegiate Peaks.

Some sweet summer fun with rafting and hiking, and some super awesome skiing in the winter!
