Salida, Colorado In The Heart of the Rockies

By
Real Estate Agent with First Colorado Land Office

This is where I Live

This is where I live and work and play.  Salida Colorado.Hiking is one of my favorite activities

I am happy to be a part of this new organization of professionals.  Where I am am from is all about lifestyle.  The Rocky Mountains offer so much in the way of outdoor activities both Winter and Summer.

The reason you want to live here is the "Colorado Mountain Town Lifestyle" and wonderful climate which is why it is frequently called "The Banana Belt" of Colorado.

For more than 100 years, the Heart of the Rockies has drawn people...people looking for riches in the hills, wealth in the trades, solitude in the majestic mountains and excitement in the cascading Arkansas River and the beautiful 14 thousand foot peaks and Monarch Ski area. Today, more than ever, they can experience all that Salida Colorado real estate and all the area community has to offer. Salida also has the largest Historic District in the State Of Colorado offering a historic downtown and homes which were built in the late 1800's and early 1900's. 

We have the highest concentration of 14,000 foot peaks in the United States, the San Isabel National Forest, the Arkansas River which is one of the top ranked whitewater rafting locations in the United States, Colorado's largest historic downtown district and ample affordable lodging and fine cuisine. All this plus an average of 330 days of sunshine a year mean that the Heart of the Rockies is the all season spot for any family for first or second homes!

Salida and Buena Vista provide access to more than a million acres of San Isabel National Forest encompassing the Sawatch and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges for unlimited fun from white water rafting, camping, fishing, hiking, biking and horseback riding to skiing, snowmobiling, four wheeling and jeeping. The Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area, containing 150 miles of the Arkansas River from Leadville to Pueblo, ensures quality recreational resources for boaters, anglers, photographers and sightseers.
