You have a unique opportunity to "break the earthly bonds of gravity," and if you've been dreaming about flying -- try this! The adventure begins shortly after sunrise when the mountain air is still calm and stable. Ballooning is an "hands-on" participation sport, and we will enlist your energy in the set-up and inflation of the balloon (optional). Have your camera ready to capture the excitement as our beautiful giant balloon rises for its journey. You'll then climb aboard our basket for the flight of a lifetime enjoying the enchanting sights and tranquility that can only be experienced from a hot air balloon. We may fly inches over the area lakes for a breathtaking "splash-n-dash," a little higher for some souvenir pine cones from the tops of trees or up to 3,000 feet for a 200 mile panoramic view of 4 states. After the dreamlike floating sensation of the balloon, you'll enjoy a closing ceremony back on the ground.

Leon was recommended by a local acquaintance and I was delighted with the massage quality, care and professionalism provided. Leon worked my knees, back and shoulders in ways I'd never had them done. He was able to find the cause and correct long standing problems as well as recommend things I could to to better maintain my body. I highly recommend Leon at Mountain Massage if you are in South Central Colorado near Pagoda Springs

Arrived at Pagosa Springs around 8am this past weekend. Went to Treasure Falls first since it was a short distance from Pagosa Springs. Then, headed to the hot springs. When looking at hot springs from main road across river, the parking/main entrance is to the left. You can still walk to it from the right, but it is a longer walk. You check in at table outside of main building. Kind of a maze to find the entrance, but easy check-in once you do. Since we were early, we were able to get in. We went and got our things out of the car and by the time we were walking in, they were telling others they were already at capacity - so go pretty early. We brought our 3 kids 6, 8, and 10 and they loved it except for the smell of the minerals in the water bothered the 2 littles. The towels and robes are extras. Robes are not really needed in the summer, so we just rented 2 towels for the 5 of us ($4 each), but the guy ended up giving us 2 extras for free. Only about 1/4 of the people had robes on. The locker rooms are really nice but you cannot use the lockers. I did not see a family locker room - just men and women. We changed into swimsuits and headed to the largest pool/hot spring - it looks like a normal swimming pool with a hot tub attached. We found a few tables and chairs open to set our stuff on. We sat in the hot tub while the kids swam in the big pool. Both were warm but not hot. Lots of kids jumping off hot tub into pool and a few adults were complaining. Definitely not the spot to be if you do not have kids. This pool was really gross with white stuff floating throughout pool and hot tub. We only lasted a few minutes and then headed to the other hot springs. There were about 15 total to choose from - all different temps and labeled with the temps - but we found they were really off (all of them seemed about 98-102 degrees. We would stay in one for 5 min and move on to the next. Some were pretty crowded but people would come and go constantly. They did feel amazing and the water seemed clean in all of these. There is one pool by river that is amazing with rocks at the bottom and hot spring water bubbling out of rocks. If you have little kids under 5, I would just make sure they do not get close to where the water is coming into the pools, as it is extremely hot at these spots (prob 104-105) but the pools in general are fine for kids to swim in. The hot spots were my favorite, so I would just sit there so the kids would not go to that area. Kids tried swimming in river bank but water was really cold. The river was flowing pretty fast, so kids could not really go out into river to swim, but there are a few areas on the bank that they can. There is an adult only area which we did not go to, but it looked very peaceful if you go without kids. We did not go to every pool, but each only holds about 5-10 people max (except the large one, that is more of a pool) Overall, we loved the experience and the hot pools - very relaxing. We used the showers (soap is provided) before leaving. We were the only ones in the locker room while there and it is very large (about 10 showers) and is very clean. We met a few people while there that said this hot spring is one of the top 2 in Colorado to go to. There is food and drinks for purchase. We spent about 1 1/2 hours there. I am not sure I would spend more than one day or even spend the night, but we did enjoy a day trip to see it. I would recommend if it was your first time to see a hot spring. Would love to visit in the winter! The town is also nice, but very small.

Wanting to take advantage of the natural feature of Pagosa Springs, with the objective of relaxing from a busy vacation, it was recommended that we try The Overlook rather than the more commercial hot springs location. The rooftop spring water tubs literally overlook the main street of Pagosa making it a unique experience. There were a variety of tubs both inside and out with different temps and all were soothing after hiking the previous day. The unlimited time for $14 was a great bonus!

We stopped out of curiosity and so glad we did! You can see the falls from the parking lot, but take the little loop to see it up close! When you’re standing on the parking lot looking up at the falls, you have the steep and for some perhaps a bit strenuous trail on your right and the easier hike on your left. We went up the steep trail and down on the other side. Good fun!
