Buffalo Joe's Whitewater
Awesome place to stay and relax, natural hot springs in the creek when the creek isn't too high (snow run off peaks around the end of June, so the creek will be really high, later summer is the best time to go, and of course in the winter). There's an upper (family friendly, there's a slide in the upper pool) and lower pool (creek hot springs, sauna, and three pools)

Parks & Nature
Hiking 14er's? 14er's are what we call our tall mountains that are more than 14,000 ft. Mt. Princeton is the iconic mountain on the West side of Buena Vista. I recommend getting a 14er's map if you want to hike this! I also recommend being an avid hiker and starting really early in the morning (before 5am) so weather doesn't affect your experience.
