My wife and I just happened to find this amazing hiking area. You travel down hwy 600 from hwy 160 in Pagosa Springs. Once on 600 (Piedra Road), you'll go about 15 miles until the road becomes hard dirt. Once on the dirt road, you will travel approx 5 miles to the trail head on the left. The trail head is on the river, so it's easy to find. The trail itself goes along the river with amazing views of cliffs and the river. If you're lucky there will be plenty of rock climbers to watch. I'm 67 years old and had two knee replacements within the past 6 months, so if I can walk the trail, just about anyone can. It's well marked, and easy to follow. The terrain can be a little tricky at times, but it's certainly not hard. Take plenty of water and a lunch to enjoy while sitting along the river. We stooped for our lunch at about 2.5 miles at a bridge that goes over the river. We turned around then and went back, but the trail continues on for several miles if you like. Once you finish your hike, take a drive on up the dirt road to Piedra River Falls and Williams Reservoir. Both are beautiful and a must see when in the area. If you have a kayak, take it up to enjoy lake kayaking on the reservoir.

Very nice experience at Yamaguchi Park...natural riverside park with sports fields, picnic areas, playground, skate park & kayak launch...great playground for kiddies, large grass playing field, convenient and clean restrooms...the San Juan River is directly adjacent to the park which makes for a super fun time of dipping your toes into the water and skipping some stones...the River Trail goes right along the edge of the park. Enjoy !!!

We love history and fresh air. This stop had great views of all four directions. There were lots of docents available to answer questions and give historical background. We all loved seeing the ruins of Pueblo housing and enjoyed the hike all the way to the great house at the top!
