About
Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Salida Airport/Harriet Alexander Field (ANK) is a vital airport for Colorado’s aviation system. Located in central Colorado and two miles northwest of the Town of Salida, ANK provides majestic views with 14,000-foot peaks of the Upper Arkansas River Valley’s west side. ANK serves a diverse range of needs for the local community and beyond. From supporting UPS, aerial medical operations, and firefighting operations to hosting wildlife management and business aviation, the airport plays an integral role in the region. With courtesy cars and exceptional local amenities, ANK remains a cornerstone of regional connectivity and economic development. Alpine Air’s five-days-a-week parcel delivery ensures seamless connectivity for local businesses and residents. Additionally, ANK is home to two flight instructors training the next generation of aviators. Corporate and business aviation have seen substantial growth, with regular visits from property developers, business investors, and air charter services like NetJets and Flexjet. The airport’s proximity to Salida’s vibrant downtown, art district, and outdoor recreation opportunities like mountain biking, rafting, and skiing makes it an attractive destination. ANK also provides crucial support for government agencies conducting wildlife and infrastructure inspections in the region. ANK also engages the community with air shows that draw large crowds, food and commercial vendors, and fly in clubs attending the event.
