I love watching the Olympics from the comfort of my home here in Salida, Colorado. In the winter my favorite sport is ice skating and in the summer time it is gynastics. Recently, we took a road trip to Colorado Springs to the Olympic training center. It was very interesting and we quit enjoyed it.
Colorado Springs is just two hours from Salida. While in Colorado Springs we were lucky enough to see this herd of male mountain sheep. That was quite a treat for us. We see the females around Salida quite frequently, in the Big Horn Sheep Canyon, but not these males.
Outside we are seeing another sign of winter. More snow. Monarch Ski Area recently had 40 inches of snow. Couldn't ask for better skiing or snowboarding conditions. Hope to see you here soon.
Life and times at a 1950s "mom and pop" motel in Salida, Colorado. Salida is an outdoor enthusiasts paradise. In the summer there is white water rafting, ATVing, mountain biking, hot springs, and hiking. Add shopping to that list of things do to in our darling historic district. Fall offers the changing colors of the trees and big game hunting. Winter there is skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing. Spring and Fall there is great fly fishing.
