Fun Fact Friday?

Did you know Pagosa Springs use to be a pit stop for supplies for miners? The town did not advance into a vacation and retirement spot until the 1970’s.  The town site was established in 1874 after control of the area was wrested from the Ute people (in whose language pagosa means “healing water”)

Happy Friday!
