The Monarch / Salida area
is full of outdoor opportunities, some at your doorstep, others
just a few miles away.
Summer Activities
The Arkansas River is one of the most
popular whitewater rivers in the nation. Choose from a variety of
whitewater adventures with Independent

“Ghost Towns” and learn to pan for gold, or search for
precious gemstones. Many come to this area to climb a “Fourteener”.
Fish in streams and high mountain lakes. There are excellent trails
and roads designated for jeeping, ATV touring, horseback riding,
and mountain biking. The Salida Golf Course is a great place to
spend your day.
