  • Pagosa is obviously quite famous for their hot springs that are right on the beautiful Piedra River. You pay to $15 to go in any of their 18 pools with temperatures range from 83 - 114 or we can tell you how to go 'local style' by gong across the river and try a couple free pools on the other side of the river.
  • If you or your kids like swimming, it is worth the trip to Durango to go to their indoor community pool with a huge 40 foot indoor slide and huge shallow kiddie area and a full sized olympic pool and much, much more.
