Pagosa Springs Colorado Tourism

Nestled in Southwest Colorado at the base of the Continental Divide, Pagosa Springs is one of the state’s last undiscovered gems. Known for its amazing hot springs, abundant sunshine and small town feel, visitors to Pagosa Springs enjoy more than 3 million acres of surrounding national forest and wilderness areas.

In the summer, the list of outdoor activities is lengthy. Hike, bike or go on a horseback ride along serene mountain trails to local waterfalls and breathtaking vistas. Raft, kayak or float down the San Juan River, fish in a nearby stream or secluded lake, boat or water ski at nearby Navajo Lake. Pagosa’s 27-hole golf course or 18-hole disc golf course will challenge the best golfers, of all kinds, in stunning mountain settings.

In the winter, Wolf Creek Ski Area, just a short drive outside of town, boasts the most snow in Colorado, averaging 450 inches of snowfall annually. With over 1600 skiable acres, low prices and short lift lines, Wolf Creek provides affordable family fun. Snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sleigh rides are also popular area activities.

Only a short distance from Chimney Rock Archaeological Area, Mesa Verde or the Great Sand Dunes, and at the crossroads of several spectacular scenic drives, Pagosa Springs is a great base camp for exploring southwest Colorado.
