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!
Safety before fun

Spring is Around the Corner…
And that means more adventures are awaiting. When the snow subsides, we still love to get outside and enjoy various activities, like hiking, fishing or simply enjoying a beer on the river at Riff Raff Brewing.
Pagosa offers plenty of rivers and lakes, go catch some cuties!
Check out the local shops for fly fishing gear and more to get a head start!
