boasts an array of activities that can be enjoyed by families,

the water on the west runs west to the Colorado River and on
to the Pacific Ocean while
all the water on the east runs east to the Arkansas River and
on to the Atlantic Ocean. The Arkansas River is the MOST popular
stretch of white water in the United States; people come from
all over the world to test their skills rafting and kayaking
the many whitewater rapids on this Colorado River. Salida is
home to around 6,000 people who come from all over the country.
Salida is one of the most popular artist communities in the
state. There are many galleries and working studios to explore
