Buena Vista, Colorado
August 25,2009
Our route today from Estes Park to Buena Vista took us over three scenic byways: the peak to peak, top of the rockies and the collegiate peak scenic byways. It was a challenging mountain drive in the RV but Brad seemed to have a smile on his face the entire way. The scenery was truly amazing in all directions. The sky also delivered a dose of rain, hail and SNOW.
This is the view from our campsite in Buena Vista. It is the highest of the Collegiate Peaks, Mt Princeton. It is 14,000+ in elevation. Our campsite is at 8,053 feet! We plan to do some jeeping up to Tin Cup an old ghost town that used to be a mining meca.
