Gravel Route
On Co Rd 375, Buena Vista, Chaffee County, Colorado
Starting from Buena Vista, this route features short punchy climbs at the start, leveling off gradually and returning back to town via a series of fun, rolling descents. Most of the roads are well maintained, but there are a couple areas of loose dirt and sand. Watch for off-roading vehicles, although you should be able to see/hear them coming from a long way off. Step-by-step starting from Buena Vista: -Head north on CR371(N. Colorado Ave.) for 3 miles -Turn left onto CR375 for 1 Mile, passing Turtle Rocks Campground on your left around the .8 mile mark. -Turn right onto CR376 for 2 Miles -Turn left onto CR311 just after the cattle grates, and continue for 2.3 miles -Stay left to continue onto CR 373 for 1.4 miles -Stay to your left at the fork, crossing over Fourmile Creek and continuing on CR373 for 1.9 miles -The road continues as CR375A for 1.6 miles -Turn left back onto CR375, and enjoy the descent back down past Turtle Rocks. -Turn left onto CR371 and head south straight back to Buena Vista.
