TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION
We are heading to the historic town of Salida, CO for a full weekend of mountain adventures including whitewater rafting & soaking in the natural hot springs! This trip will be unforgettable as Salida is nestled in the midst of the San Isabel National Forest and offers 360 degree views of gorgeous mountains.
Our first adventure begins Friday. We will be whitewater rafting, led by amazing professionals. We will make our way down Brown’s Canyon on the Arkansas River- surrounded by scenery and wildlife. The trip will include beginner to intermediate rapids (Class III/IV) at a duration of 5-6 hours. Lunch will be provided with an onsite riverside grill. This trip will accommodate 7 women, giving everyone a safe & adventurous rafting trip. Our guides will by far give you the most memorable tour of what Colorado has to offer.
Saturday, we will make our way up the canyon for a relaxing morning to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. This hot spring offers multiple soaking pools at various temperatures. What makes this location stand out compared to the rest, is that the river itself has a natural hot spring below it, so you actually get to sit and relax in the river in the middle of the mountains! There’s truly no better way to experience your first Colorado getaway.
During our downtime, Salida is a great place to enjoy the riverwalk, small local restaurants, shopping & thrifting, paddleboarding and more! Did I forget to mention St. Elmo, a great hiking spot through an old mining ghost town!?
LODGING ACCOMMODATIONS + MISC. DETAILS
We will be staying in a mountain cabin in Salida, CO. The house has multiple bedrooms and each woman will have their own cozy sleeping space without the need to share. There will be multiple bathrooms, but toilets and showers will need to be shared. The cabin has a full kitchen including all appliances, WiFi, washer/dryer and a fire pit! The outdoor space is just as relaxing as the indoors and there is plenty of space for everyone to settle in comfortably. With the lack of light pollution…the stars here are definitely worth stopping and taking a minute to look up.
The cabin is 17 miles from the whitewater rafting location and 21 miles to the hot springs. Grocery stores, gas and necessities are easily accessible in the town of Salida.
