Sightseeing
Vallecito Lake
Early morning trips are best. Make reservations immediately when you know you want to go. Main attraction is the Palace. Get the guided tour. This area is very HOT in the summer. Get in early and get out before the heat climbs

The best hot springs in Colorado. Picturesque along the river with great natural hot springs. This is one of my families must do's when we are in town. Not a far drive and definitely worth it. Eat at the many restaurants in Pagosa. This is a full day trip and you will not be disappointed.

Food scene
Best Mexican food anywhere. Also the only fuel station on the lake. Great for takeout. Menu is in the drawer. Breakfast burritos are my family's favorites. Get some chips with Queso and Green Chili for a great treat.
