Pagosa Springs Press Kit
A Colorado wonderland of adventure and relaxation
Surrounded by the Weminuche Wilderness and the San Juan National Forest amid the majestic San Juan Mountains in Southwest Colorado, Pagosa Springs offers visitors a rich geological and cultural history to explore. Known for its world-famous hot springs, “Pagosah” is the Southwestern Ute word for “healing waters.” With its official designation as the “Deepest Hot Springs Aquifer in the World,” the Mother Spring supplies three downtown hot springs locations. In addition, the soaring cliffs, ragged peaks, magical alpine pools, undisturbed wilderness and cascading rivers reveal a dramatic geological history that invites voyagers, young and old, to venture into Pagosa Springs’ backcountry.
