Rogue OYO is an app-based tool that lets us share everything we know to help you create your own Rogue-style getaway with minimal effort and show up ready to hit the ground running!
Set along the banks of the Arkansas River and at the foot of the towering peaks of the Wasatch Range, it’s tough to find a better basecamp for adventure than Buena Vista, Colorado. Running doesn’t come easy here - the town sits at 8400 ft and the trails only go up from there - but those who are willing to slow it down and take their time are greatly rewarded with some of the most awe-inspiring views to be found anywhere in the country. From town one can easily access the adventure hub of Salida, the historical mining community of Leadville and everything in between: alpine lakes, icy rivers, forested single track, mountain meadows and even a few ghost towns! Once you’ve worn yourself out - and you will! - you’ll be spoiled for options when it comes to refueling and recovering (hot springs, anyone?).
Whether you choose to run, hike or do a little of both, our route selection is packed with some of our all-time favorite spots and will ensure that you experience the best of the best in and around BV!
Note: These Rogue OYO routes are generally best between June and October; outside of that window, certain trails are likely to be snowy, icy or otherwise inaccessible.

WHAT DOES IT COST?
$45 gets you a personalized access code to our routes and guide via the Ride With GPS app and puts everything you need (and nothing you don’t) right in the palm of your hand. If you want to ensure that everyone in your crew has the ability to navigate out on the trail (great insurance for a low battery or different run paces), additional devices can be added for $20 each.
