We lucked out and got a personal Salida Sam tour from Steven Chapman (author of the Salida Sam…read morebooks)! We filled out the waiver online before the tour. There's free parking near the F Street Bridge, including fairly large lots on the other side from Riverside Park. We learned a lot about the history of Salida, the architecture, and some exciting historical events all within a few blocks on F Street! It was a beautiful day. The trees were flowering. Tourist season hadn't quite started, yet. It was an easy walk and there was often seating, if needed. Along the way, we passed some lovely eateries. We walked along the riverwalk afterwards, ate at a local restaurant, and bought stuff after window shopping. For those who play Pokemon Go, there were 2 gyms and many Pokestops along the way. That colorful tree (gym) really is a colorful tree! Go find it!

They made us feel safe and maximized the adventure of the ride. They even prepared a warm meal at our lunch break! It was a beautiful ride through Brown's canyon, we will highly recommend Salida River Adventures to anyone considering rafting on the Salida/ BV area!

Great experience from start to finish! I measure a business by how I'm greeted when I come in the…read moredoor. We were greeted immediately when we walked in as if we were already acquainted... I love that! There was little need to ask questions about the logistics of what we needed to do where we needed to go. They crushed it! I appreciated the genuine interaction with the staff again, from the time we entered the storefront, getting equipped with , instruction and training, the ride to and from the river, and of course, the on river experience. They knocked it out of the park! I have gone rafting in a number of places with a number of different outfitters. This business being small, fills in all the personalized gaps that you lose in larger companies. Kudos to Salinas adventures!...thanks Angie! I would recommend without hesitation, and if I live closer, I would return... Hands-down!

Trace, the owner, was incredibly kind, informative, patient, and accommodating. He made sure we understood everything before we headed out, and I felt comfortable and confident the entire time. The side-by-side was very well maintained and worked perfectly throughout our trip. I had no trouble driving it or riding on the roads and trails, and we were able to just relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about the equipment. The trails themselves were so much fun, with absolutely beautiful mountain views and vistas along the way. Trace gave us great recommendations based on what we were looking for, and our favorite was a trail that followed an old railroad line up the mountain. It was such a unique and memorable ride, with incredible scenery along the way. Trace really helped make the experience special. Whether you're experienced with ATVs and side-by-sides or completely new to them, I would absolutely recommend K10 Adventures. We had a fantastic time and would happily do it again!

We visited during the 4th of July weekend, and it was pretty hot during the day but we were lucky to find really pleasant weather up in the Canyon. Jim and Spence drove us 14 miles uphill and we biked downhill all 14 miles. It was not tiring at all, the bikes were awesome and we would stop every now and then for pictures and water and cookies every once in a while. Jim even brought a drone and clicked pictures and videos for us! Both Jim and Spence made us feel very comfortable and were extremely friendly. I would totally recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. We will definitely go back to Lost Paddle for more activities - rafting and shelf bike tour.

We went to CO to visit family and experience the beautiful outdoors, and a Geological Hike, the…read moreVolcanic Gems Geology Hike, with Dr. Rox was our first excursion on the weekend. Dr. Rox was fantastic. Both my wife and I are teachers, and so we loved how academic the hike was as Dr. Rox would pause and explain the rock cycle, tectonic movement, or the birth of the Rocky Mountains. We were also delighted that our two teenage sons asked a bunch of questions and were obviously engaged in, not only the Geology lesson, but also the local flora and fauna. Dr. Rox answered every question, and, when she didn't know the name of a plant, she pulled out a trusty book and looked it up. She kept things light, but we definitely learned a lot as well. When we reached the end of the hike where the zeolite crystals had grown in the geodes, we climbed all over the rocks finding crystal after crystal. It was certainly an impressive site. We really loved both the scenery and our guide, and I would recommend this hike to anyone with any interested in geology. A big thanks to Dr. Rox for making our hike so fun and educational!
