Backpacking & Hiking

Salida sits at the crossroads of some of Colorado's most demanding and rewarding terrain, the Colorado Trail, the Continental Divide Trail, and a ring of Fourteeners that draws hikers from across the country. Whether you're day hiking from town, loading up for a multi-day CT section, or resupplying for the CDT, we carry what you need to get out there.

Our backpacking selection runs from trusted names like Osprey, Big Agnes, and NEMO to a dedicated ultralight category featuring Hyperlite Mountain Gear, Zpacks, and Enlightened Equipment, one of the only shops in Colorado to carry all three. Footwear, layers, and sleep systems round out what you need to get out and stay out. Stop in store or shop online.
