Pagosa Springs Colorado - Introduction
Pagosa Springs is a small community in southwestern Colorado, located
on the site of a large natural hot spring. This out-of-the-way town is
near a number of infrequently visited scenic spots and sites of
interest, such as the South San Juan and eastern Weminuche wilderness
areas, Navajo State Park, and the Chimney Rock Archeological Area. A
high-rated ski resort at Wolf Creek is also nearby.
Despite its small size, Pagosa Springs is a welcome stop for
travelers in this remote part of the country. The town offers a full
range of services,
as well as some unexpected amenities such as a 27-hole championship
golf course. The springs themselves are too hot to swim in, but
several local spas offer pools using the spring water, historically
thought to have healing properties.
Pagosa Springs is near the border with New Mexico in southwestern
Colorado, about 150 miles southeast of Grand Junction and 225 miles
southwest of Denver.
