Quick anecdote... I recently took a trip from Texas to Westcliffe to visit family. On my first day there, my joints started aching, I got feverish and sweaty, I had hives on the right side of my body, and most concerning was a painful and very swollen lymph node on my upper thigh. I tried to go to a walk in clinic in Westcliffe and they sent me to the ER in Salida. Granted, I didn't need a specialist, but the ER staff was amazing. The wait wasn't too long, and they got me fixed up. They gave me some antibiotics and a huge dose of steroids and I was good as new within a couple of days. They filled my prescriptions at the attached pharmacy within 15 min. So, +1 for the ER in Salida!!! lol Also, there were deer in the parking lot!

I love this anecdote, thank you for sharing! I'm glad to hear you had a great experience there. Were you able to enjoy Salida long besides the ER and pharmacy visit?
Also, what part of TX? I'm from the Austin area :)

@@LivingInSalidaCO As terrible as I was feeling, I did muster the energy to drive around a bit. We drove through a few neighborhoods off the main street close to the Arkansas. We went to the Safeway, which looked like it would have all you'd expect a Safeway to have. We purchased some overpriced air in a can just in case the altitude was affecting me... lol
Salida looked like it had a ton of personality. A "vibe" like you said. I think Westcliffe does too, but it's too small for me. Plus, I like the proximity to the river and skiing that Salida offers.
After we left Westcliffe, we stayed in Copper Mountain. Absolutely nothing to do there other than hike or ski, but we explored Frisco and took a short trip to Breckenridge. I'd really like to explore that area more and try to buy a summer home somewhere in that area. SO pretty. The dream is something tucked back in the hills on a few acres, maybe live water?, but within a short drive to shops and dining.
I'm a big fan of Austin. My sister went to UT! I'm from a small town called Lake Dallas just north of Dallas and Ft Worth, but currently, I live in the country outside Denton. I'm looking to get out of Texas ASAP. It's just too hot here. Having temps in the 70's in July was AMAZING!
If I end up looking in the Salida area, I'll look you up! I'm still a few years out though so I'm just trying to narrow down areas to look in at the moment.
