After moving in and out of Salida, Colorado for the past twenty-five years, I decided to finally take one of the historic tours of Salida. I met my guide, Steve, on F Street bridge. Upon my arrival I was told that I was the only one to sign up for that days tour and would be getting a private tour. Amazing! Instead of rescheduling , the tour proceeded as planned. I had a great time and learned so many things about Salida. Steve was knowledgeable, funny, pleasant. Even though the information he has probably talked about hundreds of times, he still made it seem interesting and fresh. If you have visitors coming to Salida this tour is an enjoyable way for them to learn some facts about the town and area. If you are a local, I’m sure you too would learn a fact or two that you didn’t know before. Thanks, Steve!

Steve wrote the book on the history of Salida. Literally. Wonderful tour. Well worth the price. Park in the open field on the right after you go over the bridge. Get there early.
Recommend to go the Little Red Hen Bakery if you get there early and have a piece of pastry. The Bakery is around the corner. Make a morning out of it and get a parking place.
