Salida Chamber Calendar

On September 15th, Salida Mountain Trails is bringing the Banana Belt back to its historical location on Methodist Mountain. After a multi-year hiatus due to the 2019 Decker Fire, the ride will return to its classic course along the Rainbow Trail, finishing this year with a fun, flowy cruise down the beloved Solstice Trail. Race to be Top Banana, or party pace your way to the finish line. Registration includes free socks, lunch from our friends at Sweetie's Sandwich Shop and Soulcraft Brewing (N/A beverages available too), and a guaranteed good time on some of the sweetest singletrack in the state. PLUS: All proceeds benefit two local nonprofits committed to making outdoor recreation fun and safe: Salida Mountain Trails (SMT), and our emergency medical partner, Chaffee County Search and Rescue South (CCSARS).  Sign up today, and we’ll see you in September! 

The Colorado Workforce Center will be hosting a Workforce Center Business Services Showcase on Tuesday, September 17th, from 10am-2pm at the Buena Vista Chamber of Commerce.
