The town of Salida is the county seat for Chaffee County in Colorado and has a population of 5,666 as of the 2020 U.S. Census. Salida translates into "exit" in Spanish, and the town was named due to its proximity to where the Arkansas River exits the valley into Bighorn Sheep Canyon as it flows toward the Royal Gorge.

With the Arkansas River in town, and forests surrounding it, there are plenty of outdoor activities. You will find angling opportunities all along the river. Kayaking and white water rafting are big here, and you can find guided trips taking half or full days that let you take on Class Two through Class Five rapids. The Monarch Scenic tram takes about an hour and is a great way to get impressive views of the region. You can also visit the nearby Monarch Ski and Snowboard area during the winter.

Salida offers several locales you can shop and explore, including fine art establishments. You'll find multi-medium items in the Green Cat and oil scenes from nature showcased at The Michael Clark Gallery. You might find that perfect buy at Old Log Cabin Antiques, or you can visit the Salida Museum if you'd like to learn more about the local history of the area and the local indigenous Ute culture.

If you need something to eat after driving all day in the RV, Moonlight Pizza & Brew Pub might hit the spot. Fiesta Mexicana and Quincys Steak & Spirits are also popular establishments. Soulcraft Brewing off Rainbow Blvd. also gets good reviews from patrons wanting lunch or dinner with a friendly pub atmosphere.

A 168-mile road trip east of Salida places you on the eastern plains and at Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site. The current structure resembles the original fort.

Take a self-guided tour after watching the documentary film, and then head out to explore the two nearby trails that let you explore the terrain in more detail. During the summer and fall, the area experiences an annual tarantula migration between Colorado and Oklahoma, offering a unique sightseeing opportunity once you finish at the fort.

Best National Parks Near Salida, CO

Great Sand Dunes National Park is 86 miles southeast of Salida. It showcases the tallest dunes in North America, some of which reach 750 feet in height. There is more to this 100,000-plus acre park than the 30-square-mile field of dunes, however, as it also encompasses alpine lakes, conifer forests, grasslands, tundra, and wetlands. A favorite activity at the Great Sand Dunes National Park is to slide down the dunes on a sandboard or sled. You can backpack or hike the area even though there are no designated trails here, and the remote location offers good dark sky conditions for stargazing. The weather at the park varies by season, and the altitude plays a role in the temperatures. May and June are usually the peak season for visitors.

During your visit, you can follow the scenic Rim Drive in your RV, stopping at overlooks to take in the views and snap photos. The North Rim and South Rim campsites are fully developed for overnight stays, with the southern facility offering electrical hookups. July temperatures can reach 91 degrees but can drop as low as 18 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter months.
