Nora is still on central time and wakes up accordingly. Both Brendan and Mike are feeling the effects of drinking at an altitude higher than they're used to and are not in the best shape of their lives. Mike is also feeling the effects of a 12+ hour drive. So Brendan does a little physical therapy mountain-style. Nora assists.

With the guys in less than perfect shape, and Mike and I still very unacclimated to the elevation, we decide to take it easy today. We head into Buena Vista and take a relatively easy hike next to the Arkansas River.

Apparently Buena Vista is a big whitewater rafting area. We take a break and sit by the river and watch the rafts hit the rapids, which is pretty cool. We even saw a guy "Colorado Surfing" which basically involves what appears to be a boogie board.
We close out our visit to Buena Vista with a trip to Eddyline Brewery. I'm hoping they have their famous Apricot Wheat. They don't. I try the Sour Cherry Wheat which is pretty tasty. The pizza is also delightful.
