A relatively easy hike in and out, and about a mile from the venue.
Plenty of cute boutiques and shops down historic main street. Great restaurants to choose from as well! We recommend the Boathouse Catina or Tony's Waffles & Coffee. The Arkansas River runs through Salida, with plenty of great spots for fishing and plenty of walking paths and trails.
The Great Sand Dunes are a little over an hour drive from the venue, and if you've never been, it's worth the drive to see them. A pass must be purchased if you do not have a national parks pass. The fee is $25.00 per vehicle and can be purchased on the National Parks Website.
We've never been here before, but we have gone zip lining in Bailey. It's a fun ride, and this place seems to have a few options including ATVS and a challenge course. If you feel like an adrenaline rush, this may be right up your alley!
