Side Trips was Kaleidoscope (US band)'s 1968 debut album. It was released in June of 1967, while it was recently re-released on vinyl by Sundazed Records (2007).

While Chester Crill (aka Fenrus Epp and Max Buda) played violin, viola, bass, keyboards, and harmonica, Chris Darrow plays bass, guitar, mandolin, and additional vocals; and John Vidican on percussion.
