Downtown Pagosa Springs Travel Guide

Pagosa Springs

We were fortunate enough to fly out of Pagosa Springs on a private plane for a quick look at the surrounding mountain area. This was taken very close to Pagosa from the air while I was holding back all the bad juju that my body wanted to expel.

Early morning soak in the Pagosa Hot Springs. The hot springs are the worlds deepest geothermal springs. The “mother” spring was measured at 1002 feet deep in 2011 by the Guinness Book of records. The interesting thing is no one really knows how deep it is because the plumb line used to measure the depth ran out before hitting the bottom.
