THE BUENA VIKING
For handcrafted burgers, loaded melts, and cozy soups in a lively local setting, head to The Buena Viking on East Main in downtown Buena Vista. What started as a food truck has grown into a year-round restaurant and full bar with two patios and a rooftop “Crow’s Nest” offering vast mountain
views. Gluten-free buns and seasonal specials keep the menu fresh, and the creative cocktails will have you coming back for more. Owners Evan and Anna Winger bring deep roots in the community and a Scandinavianinspired love of comfort and celebration to everything they do. Whether you’re winding down from
an outdoor adventure or meeting up with friends for a casual bite, The Buena Viking is a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. Open year-round with indoor and outdoor seating at 418 E. Main Street, Buena Vista. Connect @buenaviking on social media for weekly specials and live music nights.

DRINK
Looking for a relaxed yet elevated spot for drinks in downtown Salida? The Office Bar is Elevation Beer Company’s new taproom, serving up 36 rotating taps, four draft wines, inventive cocktails, and a snack menu so good you can make a meal of it. The space blends vintage lounge vibes with mountaintown charm, all about creating good energy—whether you’re meeting friends après, enjoying a mellow date night, or catching up over a
stellar pour. The Office has been many things over the years, from Rocket Bar to The 146 Taphouse, and now it’s a refreshed take on a longtime downtown favorite. The bar’s fun drink specials include the best Aperol Spritz in town, creative mocktails, and rotating beers like a Cold IPA from Casey Brewing. Open Wednesday through Sunday (closed Tuesdays, open at 3 p.m. on Fridays). Swing by 146 W First Street or follow @theofficesalida for the latest.
ARTSalida artist Lynn Van De Water brings a timeless sense of beauty, balance, and wonder to her work. Originally known for her intricate mixed-media paintings inspired by antique textiles and Japanese kimono design, her practice has evolved into luminous still life oil paintings that celebrate quiet moments and everyday objects. Painted in her signature palette— warm earth tones, soft blues, deep corals—each piece invites you to pause and look more closely. Lynn
studied at The Colorado College and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and continues to create in her sunlit studio-gallery in the heart of Salida’s Creative District. The space itself is a peaceful, artful escape—equal parts gallery and working studio. Lynn also teaches art in local schools and via art camps— continuing the cycle of giving and receiving. Call ahead to schedule a studio visit or check hours: (303) 808-4247. Follow her newest pieces on Instagram @lynnvandewaterart.
SHOP
Buena Goods is a heart-led, women-owned shop filled with beautifully designed, functional bags made with care in Colorado. Co-founders Katie Meadows and Susie Moutray craft each bag from breathable industrial mesh—used in whitewater rafting gear—pairing smart design with sustainability. Each piece is durable, built to last, designed for real life, and can be repaired to reduce waste. Their unique, bold, and colorful
aesthetic is clean and minimal. If you visit while one of the owners is on site, ask about their creative process. You’ll find everything from the widelypopular weekender Mother Tote to an array of basket-bags, pouches, and more at Buena Goods. Visit BuenaGoods.com to browse their online collection or stop by 143 North F Street in historic downtown. Open seven days a week. Check out their Instagram @buena.goods for behindthe-scenes peeks and new arrivals.

SPLAY
et on a sun-drenched mesa just minutes from downtown, Salida Golf Club has welcomed players since 1926— its members will celebrate a 100th anniversary next year. The course may be “just” nine holes, but it’s packed with both charm and challenge. Water hazards appear throughout the course, quirky angles keep it interesting, and highaltitude air adds extra distance to your drives. Views stretch toward Mount Shavano and the Collegiate
Peaks, with deer and other wildlife often wandering through. Salida Golf Club offers the only driving range in both Chaffee County and the San Luis Valley, and stays open seven days a week. After your round, refuel at the cozy Golf Cabin Bar & Grill (a log cabin built in 1936), and enjoy a drink and a bite on the patio. Book private lessons with pro shop owner, Braden Bentley. Call (719) 539-1060 to reserve tee times or visit SalidaGolfClub.com.

Celia Adamec BROKER ASSOCIATE (719) 221-3101 | CAdamec@PinonRealEstate.com
My family came to Salida in 2015 in search of a small mountain community in which to raise our daughter where we could be close to nature and surrounded by friends. My background is in museum education, but a few years of property management in Boulder County led me to real estate, which has been incredibly rewarding. So many clients end up as friends, and the greatest reward of all is welcoming them to our community and watching them contribute their own unique gifts to Salida’s health and vibrant culture.

Moving from Oklahoma City, we purchased Roxy’s Bottle Shop and jumped feet first into the community. I have served on the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and FIBArk Board of Directors.

I am the Founding Partner and Co-Owner of Pinon Real Estate Group. Born in Montana and growing up in the small town of Black Forest, Colorado, I moved to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in my twenties to start a business and family. After twenty years of Texas traffic and heat, I longed to return to Colorado. Salida provided the ideal combination of climate, scenery, recreation, and small town values for my wife and I to raise our four children. I love fly fishing, enjoying outdoor time with my family, and driving vintage Porsche sports cars.

I moved to Salida in 2021 after living in Santa Monica for the past 25 years. A Colorado native, I moved to California to pursue my career in automotive advertising. I always knew I wanted to return to Colorado. Opportunity knocked when I reconnected with my now-husband and he convinced me that Salida was the greatest place in the world. Working in the automotive industry and now real estate, I recognize that cars and homes are the two biggest investments people make during their lifetime. I’m here to ensure that process goes as smoothly as possible.

I’ve been with Pinon almost since the very beginning. Little did I know that answering an ad in the local newspaper in 2006 for the Front Desk Office Manager would launch my full-fledged career. In 2013, I decided to get my real estate license. With the encouragement and mentorship of my former boss — and the owners — I stepped into the role of General Manager in 2014. I feel a deep connection to the values of hard work, honesty, and integrity that we strive for here at Pinon. I’m so happy I found my Salida story and I hope you do too!

I’m all about making things happen, so to say I don’t waste time is an understatement. Salida has been my home since 2000, and I actually spent most of my summers here while growing up. I was born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder. I am both a Broker Associate and the long-term Property Manager for Pinon. A typical day? I return dozens of phone calls, show rental homes, and coordinate repairs. I send hundreds of emails each week, soothe nerves, distribute information, hold hands, and listen.
