Join the Project

In 2017, with overwhelming support, we moved Chipeta Mountain from a lower sub peak to the true13,472-foot summit of the mountain. In October 2017, we held the first annual Chipeta Rising Celebration in Salida, Colorado.

NOW…we are working on Mountain Heritage Park (MHP)… a pocket-park which will highlight and celebrate the rich cultural and natural history of Salida's mountain heritage.
