WHO WE ARE

Welcome to A-Lodge Salida!

Tucked between the Sawatch Range and the Arkansas River, A-Lodge Salida is your gateway to Colorado’s Central Rockies. Whether you’re here to chase singletrack, paddle through rapids, summit a 14er, or just relax under the stars—this is the place to stay wild, stay connected, and stay comfortable.Just minutes from downtown Salida, our lodge blends natural beauty with a community-centered vibe. Spread across a scenic riverside property, our accommodations include premium and primitive cabins, full-hookup RV sites, and peaceful tent camping—each with easy access to world-class mountain biking, fly fishing, rafting, hiking, skiing, and more.

OUR STORY

Founded in Boulder in 2014, A-Lodge was built around three core principles: Access. Adventure. Amenities. Our mission is to create lodging that puts outdoor experiences front and center, while still offering the comforts that make you feel at home.

With the opening of our Salida location, we’ve expanded that mission into a region known for year-round adventure and small-town soul. From the community room to the trailhead, everything here is designed to inspire connection—with nature, with other travelers, and with your own sense of adventure

WHAT TO EXPECT

When you stay at A-Lodge Salida, you’re not just booking a bed—you’re joining a community of climbers, riders, paddlers, and explorers who believe the best stories start where the pavement ends. Our team is here to help you find the best trails, connect you with local guides, or just offer up a cold drink and a warm fire at the end of a long day.

Whether it’s your first time in the mountains or your fiftieth, we’re here to make it unforgettable.

Thanks for making A-Lodge part of your journey.
