One last piece of info if you are down in Buena Vista. Someone might suggest heading over to Taylor Park since I see it mentioned you have a jeep. Taylor Park is an excellent place to go for some off roading but be aware that Buena Vista to Taylor Park via Cottonwood Pass will be closed 2017, possibly into 2018 as the road is improved and paved. You can still access Taylor Park but need to head south through Gunisson and then north. There is also Crested Butte up that way which is also very scenic and a great town.
Talked with a Chaffee County Commissioner the other day. West side of Cottonwood Pass closed this summer. The east side will be closed for repairs in 2018. I really hate this because we love camping and ATVing in Taylor Park.
Thanks for the update as the online posted info doesn't mention that detail. The online info only states possibly closed in 2018 but I'm sure the info you have is more accurate.
Completely agree as I'm still headed out there this summer myself for some boondocking and 5 days of riding my Grizzly. Love that place!
I will just need to make the 1 hour extended trip to the south. I never go that way since Cottonwood is shorter but it will give me the opportunity to scout the river canyon for fly fishing.
