Pagosa Springs, Colorado

About

Come and enjoy the natural splendor of the San Juan Mountains and your public lands! The stunning scenery ranges from high desert mesas and canyons to high alpine peaks and meadows. Recreational opportunities abound from fishing to biking, hunting to hiking, OHV riding to simply going for a drive along one of our scenic forest roads. The San Juan National Forest includes four Wilderness Areas and a National Monument. Explore Chimney Rock National Monument, a culturally-rich area where you can take a step back in time and imagine the landscape as it was a thousand years ago with cultivated fields and settlements extending from the valley floors to the mesa tops. Visitors to the San Juan Forest can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, OHV riding, alpine and nordic skiing, horseback riding, and camping. Following the October 2025 flooding events, visitors should expect dangerous conditions on roads and trails ranging from deep mud, washouts, continued flooding, instability, and changing conditions. Multiple trail bridges were washed away, and assessments will be ongoing into 2026 to evaluate the extent of the damage and begin repairs.
