Join us for a seven day outing in an area of Colorado that boasts the highest concentration of summits over 14,000 feet in the entire state and home to the whitewater of the Arkansas River. We will enjoy daily "B" level hikes at elevations reaching between 11,500 and 12,500 feet among gorgeous mountains and pristine alpine lakes. We will have the opportunity to raft in the whitewater of the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area, known for being home to some of the best rapids in the country.


We will be staying in the little historic mining town of Buena Vista, elevation 8,000 feet, in a 5 bedroom, 3½ bath house whose backyard comes down to the soothing waters of Cottonwood Creek.
