Salida is a really cool town.

Salida is great, that’s where I live.

There’s a ton of great mountain biking right out of town with good places to rent bikes. Lots of good hiking as well, if that’s more your speed. Return back to salida after your ride and there’s several breweries and good restaurants to check out.

You can rent atvs, 4 wheelers, and ride in a lot of different places in the valley. I think y’all would have the most fun at a place called Four Mile, just north of Buena Vista.

If Hancock pass is open, usually around July 4th, that’s great alpine riding. Visit ghost town of st elmo, do the atv’ing and then soak at mt Princeton hot springs afterwards.

There’s also other great sections to raft along the Arkansas river if that interests you. Numbers is more intense than Browns Canyon, which is what y’all probably did last year.
