Vertex’s venue, known as Cottonwood Meadows, is nested in a sprawling rangeland at the foot of the Continental Divide and surrounded by the year-round snowcapped 14,000-foot peaks of the Collegiate Mountain Range. Located a mile from downtown Buena Vista, Colo. in Chaffee County, Cottonwood Creek runs through the campgrounds and the festival site itself.
