Take your meeting on the road
The axiom a lot of us live by is to work hard and play hard. But what if you could get away with doing both at the same time? All too often, we find ourselves going to work, punching a clock, and working insane hours. Most of our lives are eaten up in the drudgery that is the day in, day out toil of the same variety, in perpetuity. Or so it seems. If you are planning a businesses meeting in Colorado, look no further than Creekside Chalets.
According to a study by Fast Company, workplace interruptions cost the US economy $588 billion per year. Often employees routinely lose 40% – 60% of their day from interruptions. Taking employees out of their routine and into a different environment keeps the team focused and ready to contribute. Rather than holding together team loyalty and drive with t-shirts or swag, why not give your employees what they will value over all of these? An experience. Bring your employees along for an adventure!
A Hidden Gem
Salida, CO is one of those places that can easily be considered a hidden gem. Located a few hours away from the Denver Metro Area, just over the Continental Divide, Salida is situated near majestic 14ers, natural hot springs, and some of the best world-class skiing Colorado has to offer. It’s no surprise that when it comes to location, Salida cannot be beaten.
Salida is a Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. It shares with Crested Butte the distinction of being the birthplace of mountain biking. With such a wide variety of geological features, it is no wonder that many of the locals have been rock climbing almost as long as they have been able to walk. The area is a draw for all sorts of outdoor enthusiasts, as it rests at the northern end of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and some of the tallest mountains in Colorado, with the Sawatch Range to the west and Arkansas River Valley to the north. Salida finds itself at the nexus of some prime real estate, with high mountain valleys, majestic mountains, and breathtaking canyons all within a short reach.
Make it Zip!
All sorts of adventure activities are within your grasp, from hiking to pack llama expeditions, Salida has much to offer. Try a zip line tour with Captain Zipline and Lost Canyon Zipline Tour and Aerial park at Mt. Princeton, just a few minutes drive north. Ziplines offer a perfect combination of adrenaline and teamwork that will safely draw your employees together as a team and have lots of fun in the process.
If adventure isn’t your gig you can take on the town. The Arkansas River runs right through the heart of downtown, offering a great place to get out and walk and take in the sights. With the turn of the last century architecture, downtown Salida is several blocks of shops, restaurants, bookstores, and a thriving nightlife. What mountain town would be complete without distilleries, microbreweries, and a variety of different places to enjoy a meal? Salida has it all!
