Pagosa
Springs is blessed with all the spectacular beauty and
activities that make Colorado one of America's most popular
year-round destinations. The views of the Rockies are stunning,
especially when seen from a hot air balloon. The surrounding
2-1/2 million acres of national forest teem with wildlife and
adventure. In winter, there's fabulous downhill or cross country
skiing as well as snowmobiling and snow boarding. Spring, summer
and fall bring great golf, white water rafting, trout fishing,
gentle trail rides and just being alive in one of nature's great
vistas.
