The hint of Fall is in the air and this is what the drive to the nearby ghost town of St.Elmo will look like in 3 weeks or so!

Book a room and take a trip to enjoy the best of it.

Happy National Dog Day to the guests who never complain about the room, think every walk is the best walk ever, and consider vacation snacks a basic human right. 🐾

Yep, we’re dog-friendly, because a Salida getaway is better with your best friend along for the ride. 🐶🏔️

Summer’s not over yet. Don’t start acting like it is. ☀️

There’s still time for river days, mountain trails, hot springs, long evenings outside, and one more spontaneous escape to Salida.

Make Amigo your basecamp and squeeze every last drop out of summer with one of our seasonal packages—float the Arkansas, hit the trails with our curated hiking adventure, or slow things down with a hot springs getaway.

The calendar might say summer is winding down. We respectfully disagree.

One Salida summer. Three ways to avoid wasting it.

🛟 Float it: Tubes, dry bags and water bottles for a lazy day on the Arkansas.

🌼 Hike it: Wildflower trails, a tracking journal, a Polaroid camera and Amigo shirts for proof you went outside.

♨️ Soak it: Hot springs passes, local bath salts, refreshing drinks and absolutely no pressure to be productive.

Pick your preferred version of summer. We’ll provide the cool motel.

Salida forecast: sunny with a strong chance of quitting your job and becoming a river guide.

Float the Arkansas. Wander downtown. Hike something pretty. Then come back to Amigo and do absolutely nothing for a while.

That’s called balance.

It stands to reason that a state with lots of mountains, rolling hills and scenic river valleys is bound to have lots of great mountain biking destinations.

Here’s a list of five must-ride destinations for mountain bikers in Colorado.
