The space We welcome you to our mountain home getaway, “Moose Tracks”, in the high country of Colorado and just five minutes from the historic towns of Fairplay and Alma (Check us out on IG @moosetracksfairplayco). It is conveniently close to everything you need (groceries, restaurants/bars) but also feels far enough to be the getaway that your family or friends desire. In Fairplay, you can enjoy a historic walking tour, grab some local meats and bakery items, shop local mercantile, or schedule a horseback ride at nearby ranches. The beautiful resort town of Breckenridge is a short, ~30-minute drive away. Buena Vista can be reached in ~40 minutes, offering access to horseback riding, hot springs, the rapids of the upper Arkansas river. Historic Leadville is a 1.5 hour favorite day trip via car for a deeper look into another historic quaint town of Colorado. Moose Tracks is located a half mile off-of Highway 9 on a county-maintained dirt road that is plowed in the winter. However, there can still be a lot of snow on the road and in our driveway, so during the winter AWD and snow tires are mandatory, you will get stuck. Having your own transportation is recommended as the town of Fairplay does NOT have access to Uber/Lyft. Moose Tracks is a 3 bedroom with the "4th Bedroom" loft area, 2 Full baths, and one 1/2 bath ensuite. The home sits in a quiet remote cul-de-sac, on a one-acre lot, with mature aspen trees and evergreens surrounding the home. The front deck overlooks the Mosquito Mountain Range, Mt. Sherman, Mt. Democrat, Mt. Bross, and Quandary Peak, all of which are popular 14er hikes. If you’re looking for a more leisurely hike, the Beaver Creek or Limber Grove Trails are close by. Additionally, Hoosier pass provides a mixture of remote backcountry options for the thrill seekers in your group or just a leisurely drive through sweeping views and curvy mountain roads. Those who enjoy fishing will be in paradise with nearby gold stream waters coined, “the dream stream”, while those looking for an overlanding/4x4 venture will find challenges abound from Mosquito Pass to Wheeler Lake to Breakneck Pass with gorgeous views and waterfalls. For a longer drive to Breck, you can travel offroad via Boreas Pass. For rock climbers in your group, Eleven Mile Canyon and Mt. Royal are accessible within an hour, offering a selection of sport and trad. climbing options. And finally, the Arkansas Valley will appease anyone's eagerness for rafting and kayaking.
