Poncha Springs is a tiny town just west of Salida, Colorado. Although there are not many facilites here, there is the Poncha Market, a hidden-gem where you can purchase drinks, snacks, and sandwiches at Mabel's Deli (located in the market) to refuel, and a cool town hall (in the old historic school house) where there are bathrooms you can use.
