Johnson Village, Colorado
Johnson Village is an unincorporated community in Chaffee County
located two miles south of Buena Vista. The altitude is approximately 7,800 feet above sea level.
The area largely consists of a short stretch of roadside
businesses for State Highways 24 and 285. The Coyote Cantina restaurant,
the Gunsmoke Truck Stop (the only full service truck stop in Chaffee County), a motel,
bed & breakfast, Domino's pizza, liquor store and numerous whitewater rafting companies call Johnson Village home.
The main entrance to the Buena Vista Correctional Complex is also in Johnson Village.
The area is probably best known for its stunning view of the Collegiate Peaks to the west
and the many outdoor and recreational activities the mountain region offers.
