🚣♂️ FIBArk Is Here! 🎉

One of the biggest advantages of living in Salida? You don't have to plan a trip to experience one of Colorado's most iconic events; it happens right in your backyard.

What started in the 1930s as a way to showcase Salida and the Arkansas River has grown into FIBArk, America's longest-running whitewater festival. Every year, thousands of visitors come to town to experience the races, live music, events, and energy that make Salida so special.

For locals, it's more than a festival. It's a reminder of what makes this community unique: a vibrant downtown, endless outdoor adventure, and a river that brings people together.

While visitors get a weekend of fun, Salida residents get to enjoy this lifestyle all year long.

Happy FIBArk weekend, Salida! Here's to another year of celebrating our river, our community, and the mountain town we're lucky enough to call home. 🌊🏔️❤️

🌲🏔️ Forest on three sides. National Forest access from your backyard. Mountain views from nearly every window.

Welcome to 18898 Monte Escondido Court in Buena Vista.

This mountain retreat is tucked into the pines at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering the kind of privacy and adventure that people dream about when they move to Colorado. Spend your mornings on the wrap-around deck watching wildlife wander by, your afternoons exploring trails that connect directly to the Colorado Trail, and your evenings gathered around the stone fireplace beneath soaring wood ceilings.

With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, multiple living spaces, and room for all your gear, this home is built for both relaxation and adventure.

Just minutes from downtown Buena Vista, hot springs, world-class fishing, rafting, skiing, and endless hiking, this is more than a home; it's a basecamp for the Colorado lifestyle.

Offered at $775,000.

🚨 One of FIBArk's Most Loved Events Is Almost Here! 🚨

If you've never seen the Hooligan Race, you're in for a treat.

This isn't your typical whitewater competition. In fact, calling it a paddling event might be a stretch. 😆 The Hooligan Race is open to just about anything that floats that isn't a boat, and participants show up in wild costumes ready to embrace the chaos.

It's part race, part costume contest, part comedy show, and 100% Salida.

One of the best perks of living in Salida is having events like this right in your backyard. While thousands of visitors come to town for FIBArk, locals get a front-row seat to the fun, community spirit, and unforgettable moments that make this mountain town so special.

Join the crowd and see why the Hooligan Race has become one of the most anticipated and talked-about traditions of FIBArk.

Some home searches take a little longer because the right property is worth waiting for. 🏔️

After seeing a lot of homes together, Shawn's client finally found the one at 12501 Country Meadow Lane, and it's officially UNDER CONTRACT! 🎉

Big mountain views, plenty of acreage, an outbuilding, water rights, newer construction, and room to grow... this property checked every box and then some.

We're so excited for our client and proud of Shawn for staying patient, persistent, and committed to finding the perfect fit. Sometimes the best homes are worth the wait. ❤️

Congratulations! Here's to wide-open spaces, unforgettable sunsets, and an exciting new chapter ahead.

🎉 The countdown is on... just a few more days until FIBArk 2026 takes over Salida!

And if you're looking for one event that's guaranteed to make you laugh, cheer, and wonder how anyone stays on the board, put SUP Boxing on your must-watch list.

🥊🌊 A giant stand-up paddle board. Oversized boxing gloves. The Arkansas River. What could possibly go wrong?

Part competition and part pure entertainment, SUP Boxing challenges competitors to keep their balance while trying to knock their opponent into the water. The result? Plenty of unexpected splashes and a crowd favorite year after year.

Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, and a wood-burning stove create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Large windows bring in natural light throughout the day while showcasing the surrounding mountains and valley views that make this area so desirable.
