WHO WE ARE
Welcome to A-Lodge Salida!
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.

Quiet Hours:
We love a good fireside hang, but quiet hours begin at 10 PM. Respect your fellow campers and let the stars do the talking.
