SKI & RIDE
Wolf Creek Ski Area is a short 25 minutes away, and is best in class if you are looking for fresh Colorado powder. There are a variety of trails for the whole family, from rolling groomers to hike-in only steeps and chutes.
Wolf Creek receives over 450" of natural snow annually, due to its unique placement just a few yards east of the Continental Divide. Bluebird days abound, providing abundant family photo opportunities!
The Wolf Creek Lodge and Pathfinder Bar and the Raven's Nest are a must stop for a burger or soup and a regional beer on tap. The Continental has the best espresso in the San Juans, tell Ernie we sent ya!
HIKE
Hundreds of miles of hiking/backpacking trails abound in the San Juan National Forest, surrounding Pagosa Springs on nearly 3 sides.
Pick a leisurely stroll in the morning before coffee. Maybe you and the kids could take a day hike. If you are really feeling adventurous, gather your gear and family or friends, and set off for a multi-day hike through the breathtaking beauty of the San Juans!
Mountain vistas, high alpine lakes teeming with fish, fourteeners that keep snow on their peaks year-round; all of these things are accessible mostly on foot. Remember, pack out what you pack in; leave nature better than you found it.
HUNT
Southwest Colorado has some of the best elk and mule deer hunting in the Rocky Mountains. Our property is uniquely situated to short drives to thousands of acres of national forest in the southwest corner of Colorado! Ski and Bow Rack can provide all your guide services, as well as any of your gear needs.
FISH
World class fly fishing awaits you on the San Juan River or the south fork of the Rio Grande! If still waters are more your game, there are a plethora of reservoirs within a short drive; fish from the shore, from a kayak, or throw on your waders when it heats up a bit.
BIKE
Pagosa Springs has approximately 100 miles of mountain bike trails. There is something here for everybody, from gentle rollers to technical singletrack. Take plenty of water and energy bars, because you will want to ride much further than you anticipate!
