Local Art, History, and Recreation abound in and around Fort Garland, Colorado

Just 80 miles southeast of Salida is the sweet little town of Fort Garland, Colorado. The old army fort has been converted into a museum that offers eye-opening exhibits on local history and art. You can read about it in the August issue of Colorado Central Magazine. And since you’re going to make the road trip to check it out for yourself, you might as well stop and see the Shrine of the Stations of the Cross in nearby San Luis and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. And then of course the Great Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls. Better give yourself a few days to take it all in!

The waters of the Arkansas River are warmer now than they’re likely to be all year long. But still cold enough to be super refreshing. We strongly recommend the cold plunge on a hot afternoon.

Some folks buy a beautiful piece of land and park a camper on it until they’re ready to build their dream home. Others just want to take a bath by the river.
