Greetings from the King of Upper Como! The sometime residents of this old railroad ghost town are quite an interesting lot. They are masters of somewhat unsettling yard art, are super friendly, and exceptionally proud of their little town’s history. 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 pump cart rides on the rails. See you there!
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, has several fine hot spring options, but if you want to get away from the highway and soak in undeveloped spring pools, look for South Canyon Hot Springs. Just a few miles west of town and totally free, it attracts a diverse group of hippies, local workers, and through travelers.
Open mic night at the new Salida distillery!! Every Wednesday. Sign up starts at four, and the magic happens from 5 to 7. Spoken word and poetry presentations welcome as well. Come grab a happy hour special and check out Salida’s local talent!
Tonight’s full moon, called the Wolf Moon, will be visible shortly after sundown. It’s a good night to get out there in the hills and ski by snow-reflected moonlight, no headlamps required.
