What Do Our Visitors Say About Pagosa Springs – Part 3

The Pagosa Springs Visitor Center actively solicits comments from those that visit our area. Here are a few unedited comments from our visitors. Here is the 3rd installment of their comments. Pagosa Springs may be a little out of the way and “funky” for some. We are a small resort and retirement community with a lot for the adventurer. Pagosa Springs really is not an Aspen, Telluride, or Vail. But we love visitors and tourists all the same.

Empty-nester	I am a wildlife and nature photographer. I attended your July 4th art fest and came back to explore and photograph the area. Pagosa Springs is a beautiful quaint town but i most love the scenic area around it.
Empty-nester	I can’t wait until we get to come again.
Empty-nester	I love you town!! The people are very friendly & helpful.
Empty-nester	I would love to come back and stay a few days!
Empty-nester	In town for Parelli Savvy Conference
Empty-nester	It was almost 2 years ago, so I don’t recalls ome of the details.
Empty-nester	just love the area
Empty-nester	Local Church Very Welcoming
Empty-nester	Local law enforcement was not sympathetic to needs of tourist.
Empty-nester	Look forward to being your neighbor in 2010
Empty-nester	Loved it
Empty-nester	Loved it..will come back. Would be a serious contender on my possible places to move if I ever move out of the Austin area.
Empty-nester	Loved it-would definitely come back again. Hot Springs are extremely expensive-The rates they had listed on the internet site were incorrect. They had the rates for locals-not for the rest of us. That was quite a monetary shock for us…..
Empty-nester	loved pagosa springs & durango area
Empty-nester	loved the river running through pagosa
Empty-nester	Maybe I had a preconceived idea of what Pagosa Springs would look like. It didn’t look anything like I imagined. Kind of disappointed.
Empty-nester	My wife And I are in our 70s. We were refused service at the Tequila restaurant because we were ordering only desert, although the rest of the party intended to have dinner.
Empty-nester	Our best memories of Pagosa Springs include breakfast and conversation at the Floured Apron, Anna O’Reilly – Energy massage, and the hot springs.
Empty-nester	Perhaps the most friendly people we’ve experienced in many years of travel.
Empty-nester	Road construction made it difficult getting around.
Empty-nester	Rodeo, small but good one.
Empty-nester	some of the access to businesses was confusing, especially on the west end of town, and not being able to make a left turn at a major intersection to get back on the highway was very frustrating
Empty-nester	Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but we came specifically for the Parelli Savvy Club Conference and didn’t do much else except eat out at night. It was a busy weekend with Parelli and didn’t leave much time for anything else and we were tight on time coming and going. Would have liked to stay longer to see more.
Empty-nester	This was a wonderful vacation for us and would love to visit the area again.
Empty-nester	Town has a great potential and could be a real tourist attraction.

   I hunted every year from 1975 to 1993 just south of Pagosa, camping near Buckle’s Lake above Chromo. Sometimes staying in Harvey’s Motel. My intention was to come to Pagosa Springs upon retiring, buy a cabin, & live out my days. I came to town last summer to look for a place & was quite surprised! I’m sure the land speculators & Real Estaters have done well, but the charm is gone. Sorry, too crowded & I’ll look to spend my days elsewhere. Not for me anymore.
