The Arkansas River is some of the baddest whitewater kayakingin North America and also has some of the most family-friendly whitewater rafting anywhere. "The Ark" begins near Leadville, Colorado and flows south through the Upper Arkansas River Valley. The area near Buena Vista is an outdoors aficionado's paradise with numerous fourteener peaks in the Collegiate Peaks, road cycling, mountain biking, trail running, climbing, bouldering, hiking, and much more. In winter, Alpine, Nordic, and backcountry skiing & snowboarding and snowshoeing are available. The floor of the Valley from Buena Vista to Salida has a pretty mild climate year-round and for this reason is sometimes called the Banana Belt. You can go skiing or snowshoeing on the west side of the Valley or rock climb, mountain bike, hike, etc. on the east side on many winter days Buena Vista has one of the world's great outdoor shops, The Trailhead. They are really willing to help you out with whatever you need, including information about places to go.

Get the Pine Rider mug.A specific breed of North American megawhore, generally found in rafts and intertubes on large rivers throughout the United States, generally during the summer months. They are easy to spot, usually having their breasts exposed in exchange for beads or alcohol, and wearing aviator sunglasses and any brand of light beer trucker hat. The roach name comes from the roach-like way they crawl in and out of every guy's bed in the campground. River Roaches are not to be confused with a Mud Cricket, but are a close relative.
