All the good things in life have come together to create a mountain paradise in Pagosa Springs. The unpretentious charm stimulated by fusion of the surrounding impressive mountain peaks, the pine covered rolling hills, scattering glittering lakes and streams, the world’s largest mineral springs, and the natural beauty continue to captivate visitors.
Pagosa Springs is located in south western Colorado in Archuleta County, on the San Juan River, in the South West foothills of the San Juan Mountains, 47 miles east of Durango. The region is nearly surrounded by parts of the San Juan National Forest, slightly to the west near the Piedra River, the ruins of the ancient cliff dwellings of Chimney Rock, and finally to the south west, the Southern Ute Indian Tribe Reservation.
Close proximity to notable archaeological sites, the Great Pagosa Hot Springs, a 27 hole championship golf course – Wolf Creek Ski Area, and plentiful fishing in the San Juan River, Pagosa Springs is a world away from metropolitan urban jungle hustle and bustle offering fresh clean air, almost always sunny skies, and a welcoming community richly filled with open friendliness where businesses are genuine with appreciation for your patronage.
There is a plethora of outdoor adventures ranging from fishing and hunting, to hiking and horseback riding, to cycling and skiing. The fresh clear skies offer some of the best stargazing you will ever experience. |
