ROAD BIKING
Looking for smooth pavement, quiet climbs, and big-sky views? Salida serves up some of Colorado’s most scenic and rewarding road rides—and A-Lodge is your perfect jumping-off point. Pedal right from the lodge and you’ll be on your way to scenic loops, classic out-and-backs, and legendary climbs like Monarch Pass.
If you like long, steady efforts with inspiring views, this is your kind of place. The light traffic, mountain air, and rolling open roads make every ride feel a little epic—and every descent feel like freedom.
Back at basecamp, you can kick back, refuel, and relive the miles with fellow cyclists who understand that “type 1 fun” is real fun, too.
