Pagosa Peak Hike – Jacque Aragon

Breathtaking views and an amazing hike. This is a challenging hike and takes 4-5 hours. How to get there: Go North on Piedra Road past the Pagosa Lakes area to Road #633 which becomes Plum Taw Road on the right. Take it several miles until you see a gated entrance to a rugged road on the left. This 4-wheel drive road is an old logging road. Drive 4 miles until you see the single track trail on the left. Just follow the clearly defined trail and the “blue paint” spots on designated trees to the summit of 12,640′. There is an elevation gain of 2000′ feet so be sure to allow plenty of time and be off the peak by Noon as sudden storms can appear and lightening is especially dangerous at that altitude.
