First visit: Jun 2023
We enjoyed a nice morning drive and arrived in Salida around 10:00 or so. Did some thrifting, and then decided it was time for lunch. Drove into town. Much has changed since we were last here 20+ years ago. Salida is really a happening place! It's also discovered, so no deals on housing it appears. But it's easy to understand why given its beautiful mountain setting on the river. We both thought maybe we should have considered Salida for our summer townhome way back in 2009 rather than Denver. It was more isolated from family, and I had to work from there, so it may have been just a fantasy thought. The country wasn't as wired as it is today.
And that's where we ended up eating, right along the banks of the river. That's what the High Side refers to. High Side is a somewhat typical mountain town eclectic American restaurant with a full bar, and outdoor seating. The taps were surprisingly lacking in local product, so we stuck with water. They must have been out of ice, as we each got a glass of warm H2O. Hmmm. I had a cheeseburger and Mrs. RJG had falafel pita. We both agreed our meals were good, but not exceptional. By the time we were done, it felt like maybe we should gone somewhere else. We now have a better idea of what that place might be.
