Pagosa Springs

On our way to the Durango area, we stopped in Pagosa Springs to visit the hot springs and they did not disappoint!  They have about 20 pools all filled with hot spring water (you can actually see it coming out of the ground in several places), and each pool has a slightly different temperature. The pools are just steps away from the river, so if you get too warm, you can go cool off in the river.  The view from the pools was amazing!  

We weren't sure if the kids would love the experience or not, but decided to give it a try, especially after hearing rave reviews from my parents, who visited a few years ago on a motorcycle trip.  We all had a great time - especially the kids; Little Bud didn't want to leave!  We all left feeling relaxed and refreshed.

 

 

 

 

My parents told us to stay away from this pool; since it's so hot, so of course Big Sister had to find it and put her toe in.  I got in about waiste deep before I had to run out!
