In
2004, Outside Magazine named the "sweetly unpretentious town
of Salida" as one of the 20 "Dream Towns + Adventure Hideouts
(& Sweet Land Deals)"
Located in the Upper Arkansas River Valley, Salida is below the
Continental Divide in the Banana Belt.
The Sawatch Mt. Range to the Northwest, Sangre de Cristo
Mt. Range to the South, and the Mosquito Mt. Range to the North provide
a mild climate for Salida known as the Banana Belt; creating ideal
conditions for year-round outdoor recreation.
SteamPlant outdoor patio and
surrounding area. Enjoy the sounds of the river as you
sit along it's banks. This is the official kickoff to
this years 61st Annual FIBArk!
