We have been visiting the Mountain Motel for years as our job travels bring us to the area. It is a comfortable place to stay and it is exciting to see the new changes that are happening to The Hitchin’ Post. The new owners are enthusiastic and are adding a real western flare. It is a step back to the old West with the comforts of home. The motel is on the main drag but off the beaten path. You can be social or you can be quiet and to yourself. It is up to you. It is within walking distance to downtown Salida and quaint shops with lots of great eating places. There is plenty to do within the area. If you are looking for a great Colorado vacation with lots of God’s country at your fingertips and a comfortable place to stay with great rates then The Hitchin’ Post is the place for you. Just make sure you save our room. After all, we were there first, lol.
