Salida, Colorado has been growing in popularity over the past five years, and it’s hard to say what has put Salida on the map – aside for the railroads, of course. What has brought it to the attention of outdoor enthusiasts, thrill seekers, ski bums, real estate investors, hikers, bikers, rafters, ranchers, builders, anglers, hunters, artists, families and eccentrics alike? Could it be the Gold Medal fly fishing? or the 20 minute drive to Monarch Ski Area? the raging white water? the incredible mountain biking? the affordable home prices? the proximity to REAL wilderness? the fifteen 14,000 ft. peaks? the active art community? the wide open spaces? the slower pace? the sustainable living?
