Hiking

There are 15 mountains in the area with peaks reaching 14,000 feet. If you're looking for a challenge, Mount Yale is a popular choice, although the difficulty level is subjective, especially if you're not used to high altitudes. Be sure to start early and dress in layers for varying temperatures! For easier hikes, consider Rainbow Trail which is in the Methodist Mountain network or "S" Mountain, which is within walking distance of downtown Salida.

Scenic Drives

If hiking isn't your jam, but you'd still like to enjoy stunning high-altitude vistas, Cottonwood Pass and Monarch Pass are both paved and offer great views in every direction.
