ATV and Motorcycle

Chaffee County boasts hundreds of miles of scenic Forest Service and BLM dirt roads that are open for ATVs.  No matter what type of machine you like to ride the Buena Vista and Salida areas offer ample choices for riders of every ability and experience level. 

The Four Mile Recreation area just outside of Buena Vista is one of the most popular areas to explore, as it offers a variety of terrain suitable for experienced riders looking for adventure or a family tour.

It’s easy to cover 100+ miles in a day without traveling the same road twice.  Exploring St. Elmo and the surrounding historic mining area on an ATV offers a unique perspective on Colorado’s most original ghost town.  True adventure seekers are able to test their mettle against some of the most extreme trails in the Rocky Mountains, several of which traverse and ascend the surrounding 13,000 and 14,000 foot mountains.
