Residency on Carpenter Ranch, Hayden, ColoradoSeptember 1-30, 2011 |
Located in central Colorado in the Upper Arkansas River Valley, Salida embodies the Colorado lifestyle experience. It is an outdoors paradise with year-round activities that include an almost complete A-to-Z adventure list: archery, biking, camping, climbing, fishing, four-wheeling, golfing, hiking, hunting, kayaking, picnicking, rockhounding, skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and a world-class zipline tour.
Salida is also a place to find balance—you can relax and reflect in one of the area's hot springs after an invigorating hike up one of the dozen fourteen-thousand-foot tall mountain peaks or stroll along tree-lined streets into the several block downtown area where century-old redbrick buildings offer café fare to fine dining, whimsical art pieces to upscale aesthetics…roam along the winding Arkansas River, pound the paths of the area's extensive bike & trail system, or meander through the museum and soak up the culture. For those who yearn for remnants of yesteryears, a short drive out of town takes you to ghost towns, mining camps, and reminders of Salida's railroad transport past.
Hayden and Steamboat Springs are located in the beautiful Routt County. The area support a grreat array of ranching, hunting, skiing, kayaking/floating, fishing, hiking and bird-watching. Carpenter Ranch is on the Yampa river and has a unique and increasingly rare narrow-leaf cottonwood forest. The lland has been preserved for environmental and historical reasons.
Lake City is located in Hinsdale county, the least populated county in the lower 48 states. The area is known for it's excellent fly fishing, 14,000 foot peaks, and a scenic byway that goes up over engineer pass to Ouray (FWD only). Most of the land in Hinsdale county is public and affords some great recreation and un-paralleled beauty.
