The Salida River Trail is a popular walking and biking trail just a few blocks north of the Historic downtown. This attractive trail parallels the Arkansas River, where you can often see whitewater rafters and kayakers in the summer months.

Just north of the small community of Centerville, Colorado, is a pullout that offers fantastic views of the Collegiate mountains. There are signs that tell you the which peaks you're looking at, some history of the area, and the ecology of the Arkansas River Valley. This is a great place to pause, snap some photos, and sip some water as you admire the views.

Salida is a beautiful mountain town located in the heart of the Rockies in central Colorado. This little gem has a lot to keep you busy: no matter if you are an artistic mind or an outdoor enthusiast.

Poncha Pass stands at 9,010 feet and is a beautiful wide, open summit that marks the boundaries between Chaffee County and Saguache Counties, as well as the entrance to the San Luis Valley. This is a great place to admire the views, sip some water, and snap some photos before continuing on your ride.

Poncha Springs is a tiny town just west of Salida, Colorado. Although there are not many facilities 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.

Chalk Creek runs through Mount Princeton Hot Springs and Resort, and is one of several places where you can enjoy the water at this famous resort. Although the entry fee is a little steep ($45 on weekends, $40 on weekdays), you can enjoy access to the Historic Bath House, Creekside Hot Springs, Upper Pools & Infinity Pool. The Creekside Hot Springs are the highlight; they are the natural springs along Chalk Creek and are a unique experience in a beautiful setting.

Buena Vista is a small town right on the Arkansas River at the base of the Collegiate Mountains. It is popular with outdoor enthusiasts for its access to rafting, hiking, cycling, and rock climbing. Main Street is just east of the Arkansas River and has coffee shops, gear stores, restaurants, and other local boutiques. The Buena Vista Roastery is a favorite among locals and visitors alike and a great place to stop for a post (or mid!) ride latte.
