Buena Vista, Colorado Hiking, Walking, Jogging, Mountain & Rock Climbing

For those who indulge in serious hiking, there is nothing on earth that compares to steeling yourself against the raw elements of nature. Especially at say, 14,000 feet. With so many trails and "Fourteeners" to be climbed, scaled, rock climbed, bouldered or just plain hiked, you'll be hard pressed to decide on just one. Places all over the state offer incredible hiking up slopes you were just skiing on a few months before, with some resorts offering gondolas and lift rides to the top of the front side of the mountain so you can run off and explore some serious backcountry and pristine wilderness.

Below you’ll find listings for guides in the wild, as well as articles to gather as much information as you’ll need to explore the Rocky Mountains on foot.
