The Trailhead
December 17, 2009
As you may have 
suspected, the car needed a little help. The next day as it was being repaired our rental car got us through the aspens, over Independence Pass and straight through to the Trailhead.
Keith, Evelyn, and their precious, furry friend, Prana, were there waiting with welcoming arms. Since taking over ownership of this small, local outdoor retail shop, The Trailhead, five years ago, 
Keith and Evelyn have been heavily involved not only in spreading the word about outdoor activity, including their famous 54 14,000 ft. peaks, but also making sure that the town and wilderness area of Buena Vista continue their traditions of living sustainably.
Having learned of our recent car trouble,
long drive back into town and time restraints, Keith and Evelyn opened up their home to us as well. That evening we stayed up chatting and they recommended that we check out an area of town that had beautiful terrain and a new walkable, sustainable community. Kyle and I were psyched to check out the world-renowned kayaking area and enjoyed an early morning walk along the Arkansas River. As things would happen in a small town, we ran into Dustin and Katie, founders of South Main, the new development we heard being spoken so highly of. Whether you’re looking for a place to settle down or a great vacation spot, check out 
this innovative, sustainable development at www.southmainco.com.
To say the least, Buena Vista is a leader in sustainability, outdoor adventure and lasting friendships!
