If you love four seasons, you'll love Pagosa! Each season has its attributes that endear them to Coloradans. Summers are golden, falls are brilliant with vibrant colored leaves, winter brings white powder gold, while Spring holds promise as winter turns loose and the cycle begins again.

Hiking the Continental Divide Trail near Wolf Creek in mid-August is comfortable in shorts and t-shirts. If you prefer more difficult trails and hiking experiences, many people use snowshoes to take on the wilderness in winter and early Spring.

Summer in the mountains can always bring with it a surprise rain or snow shower. Enoying the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival in mid-September doesn't slow you down, especially with the sounds of BB King playing on stage. All you have and MUST do is be prepared. In high altitude, weather can be a bit unpredictable.
