Getting your player ready...
Spring is when the small town of Salida starts to shine. And with the December 2008 opening of the Simple Lodge and Hostel of Salida, almost everyone now has an affordable way to enjoy it.
With a 20-plus-person guest capacity that combines bunk beds with a pair of private rooms, a communal kitchen and common area, the Simple Lodge brings the hostel experience to the Arkansas River Valley for as little as $21 a night. That includes wireless Internet access, kitchen, showers and the use of hostel bikes for around-town transportation.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome for $5 more, and discounted rates are available for weeklong stays.
Go: visit or call 719-650-7381 for reservations and information.
