We have been to all the other towns around there; some many times. Was just wondering about Pagosa.
Pagosa is a typical mountain tourist town. Its got lots of nice restaurants, specialty shops, and the hot springs. Its also got the San Juan River flowing right through town, which is kayakable during the spring runoff. They have a nice town park right along the river.
If you're not into the attractions around town, the other reason to go to Pagosa is access to the Weminuche wildeness area. this is the largest wilderness area (500,000 acres) within Colorado. lots of great hiking, fly fishing and off roading outside the official wilderness area.
