Town Spotlight

Pagosa Springs, Colorado

Pagosa Springs sits west of the Continental Divide and west of Wolf Creek Ski Area. The San Juan River runs through the center of town, and the wider setting is framed by San Juan National Forest and Southern Ute Indian lands. If you're trying to picture it before you arrive, start with that combination: a river through the middle, forest around the region, and a town that makes sense in relation to both. When a place has a visible waterline running right through it, orientation gets easier. You are not looking at a town that feels cut off from its surroundings. The surrounding land is part of the first impression.
