The Majestic Year-Round Rockies
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.
