Salida Co June 15 - June 21 2015 Suggestions

See my response here for stuff around Pueblo : http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/moving-to-pueblo-hows-the-beer.256985/

Brues Alehouse will be open by then and should definitely not be missed.

 

Depends on if you're taking 285 or I70, but Backcountry in Frisco is a do not miss if you're off I70. Even off 285, it isn't terribly far out of the way - maybe 30 minutes each way. They're among the best in the state.
Also off I70 would be Pug Ryan's, Dillon Dam, and Broken Compass in Breckenridge.

EDIT: Thinking about it, you're coming from the south, so you'd be off 285. Still, if you're heading up to Eddyline (which is good, IMO), heading over to Breck and Frisco isn't too much further out of the way. You'll get to pass through Fairplay, the town South Park is based upon, on the way, too.

 

A not miss in Salida in June? I'd say you have that pretty well handled (rafting/mountain biking). In all seriousness though, Moonlight is awesome as is Eddyline and Elevation. I wouldn't bother heading to Frisco/Breck personally.

Moonlight is seriously underrated IMO and is one of my favorite food/beer stops in all of CO. June may be a bit early (snow pack will still be hanging around), but that area is incredible for hiking and fly fishing as well.

 

I wouldn't take 285 or 70, I would cut off of 25 south of Pueblo and ride through Great Sand Dunes park. With as little snow as we have had this year Monarch Crest may be rideable, if not the trails out of town at lower elevations are great also.

 

All of the places mentioned above are great. I was in Salida 3 weeks ago and we went to a restaurant downtown called Currents (http://salidacurrents.com/).
They had a really nice beer list, albeit limited, but some real gems on there.
Food was good also and they appeared to have quite the Bourbon list.

 

I'm headed to Buena Vista in three weeks, anything round there I should check out. Staying across the street from eddyline
