Challenge yourself with one of the best adventures in Colorado – Rock Climbing. Buena Vista is a rafting town in Colorado located in the shadows of the Collegiate Peaks in the Arkansas River Valley. The valley is covered in solid rock throughout, especially at the developed crags. Some areas feature developed cliffs, including Bob’s Rock, Pump station, Holy Water, Turtle Rock, and Rainbow Rock. With the exception of Davis Face, all of these crags top out at a mere 50-100 ft. Davis Face, a large, west-facing cliff stands proudly at about 400-500 ft. If bouldering is your thing, there is some amazing bouldering to be found on the west aspect of Rainbow Rock. Most of the routes are bolted face routes, although some fantastic traditional routes do exist. one would be wise to carry some traditional gear to supplement. Top ropes may be found on Bob’s and rainbow rock as well. Anytime you are climbing in the Rockies, make safety your #1 priority and watch the sky!
