PAGOSA SPRINGS offers the quiet pleasures of the past plus every mountain activity imaginable. For a true glimpse of western life, you cannot top this Rocky Mountain town. Pagosa is still not like glitzy Aspen, thank goodness! The rural ranching feeling and friendliness is still present here. The focal point of the Pagosa signifies "healing waters" in the indian language and located right downtown are the wonderfully soothing hot springs. Pleasantly landscaped, natural, outdoor pools line the river downtown (only a five-minute drive) and are a welcoming end to a perfect day of outdoor activity.
There are hot-air balloon events in the winter and spring, rodeos, and seasonal local festivities. Consult the Pagosa or Wolf Creek website for more information. Pagosa has the feel of rural Colorado and has not changed much in the years that our family has been here.
SUMMER ACTIVITIES What is your pleasure? Hiking, horseback riding, rodeo, fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, boating, touring, hot spring and spa treatments, you name it, you can do it in Pagosa. Ask about bringing your horses, there is enough space to use an electric fence to coral your horses just below the house.
WINTER ACTIVITIES You are looking for good skiing? Wolf Creek Pass is still a little known wonder. When the rest of the state has average snow, Wolf Creek has powder, deep and light. The drive to the area takes about one-half hour. Not an aggressive skier? You will find a wide variety of runs here, plenty of slopes for every level of skiing. But if it is challenging runs you need, they are here. Experts come from surrounding area resorts for the great conditions and expert runs at Wolf Creek.
In every season, you will find beautiful scenery, plenty of activities and good weather. In this part of the Rockies there are at least 320 days of sun a year. For a mountain retreat with friends or family, our home will provide a comfortable and pleasing environment that will feel like home the minute you walk in. Our family moved here in 1976 after many visits. You may just decide to do the same.
