Friday evenings feature outdoor concerts, and a weekend farmers market during summer. Popular event space once we get back to a pandemic-free world. One can take a look around here and think, "so this is why it's called Buena Vista."

If you're coming in winter, good news! The pass is closed! Now you can enjoy snowmobiling or fatbiking on a properly groomed road and explore more local winter trail options.
