Touting itself as one of the largest historical districts in the state, Salida was
also recognized nationally as one of the "ten best places to live." Like the
other communities in the upper Arkansas River Valley, Salida enjoys a peaceful
location at the base of the most spectacular mountains in the state, with the
exciting Arkansas River rushing through it.
Salida is the county seat of Chaffee County, and is the largest of all the major
towns in the upper Arkansas Valley, offering many benefits for both the tourist and
casual visitor, as well as those interested in business opportunities or retirement.
Some of the best festivals in the state are held in Salida, like the FIBArk
Kayak Race and Whitewater Festival. An art mecca for some of the most talented
artists abounds here and the Art Walk has become one of the most recognized in the
state. Other events include the Salida-Aspen Concert Series, Colorado Brewers
Rendezvous, Banana Belt Bicycle Festival, car shows and countless other events which
bring thousands to the city each year.
Chaffee County, and hence Salida, are in a state Enterprise Zone which offers many
incentives for business relocation.
With access to some of the state's finest hiking & mountain biking trails, as well
as well as a thriving economic base, Salida truly offers something for just about
everyone.
