Interested in a Drive Trip from Salida to Wyoming? If you want to check out a neat little uberwestern town (Population c. 30,000), I’d recommend taking the 4.5 hour drive north to Laramie, Wyoming. It’s somewhere between present day hipster and lost in 1890. The airbnb I stayed in was just a block up from their old theater, the Wyo, which the town is trying hard to revive. Sweet lil place for sure!
The gorgeous little ghost town of Gothic was named for the rocky spires that overlook the town like so many medieval church towers. The town has a handful of hearty, year-round residents, but in the summer it is mostly populated by climate researchers and hikers heading up into the Maroon Bells Wilderness area.
The lovely Fairview Cemetery on the edge of Salida, Colorado. You can get there from Airport Road (CR 140) or Crestone Avenue (CR 160).
If you’re in the area Aug. 19th, check out Como’s Railroad Day festival! They’ll have the roundhouse fired up and will offer little pumpcart rides on the rails. See you there!
