Pagosa Springs, CO - Last Resort Campground

Sportsman Campground is my fovorate

Tons and tons of stuff to do in Pagosa Springs. It will be hot in August, but you can find higher ground to cool off if you need. Just a couple of recommendations:

1/ Drive to Wolf Creek Pass -> great views & you can walk part of the Continental Divide Trail up there

2/ The Hot Springs! -> What Pagosa is famous for. Go for a soak in town!

3/ Chimney Rock -> Cool rocks plus an ancestral puebloan ruin just west of Pagosa Springs

4/ HIKING -> Simply tons of hiking around the area. Stop at the Forest Service in town and ask for some maps

5/ Cumbres & Toltec Railroad -> Billed as the Longest Highest, most Historic Narrow Gauge Railroad in North America. You can catch the train from Chama on US Highway 64/84, ~50 miles SE of Pagosa Springs.
NOTE/ If you go ~60 miles West of Pagosa Springs you'll get to the Durango-Silverton Railroad which is an equally enthralling ride.

6/ Rafting -> Go rafting on the San Juan

Plus eating, hanging downtown etc....ENJOY!
