You can spot Pagosa Peak from all around town. It’s an iconic part of our local landscape. 🏔️ Reaching the top is a very different story. The route to Pagosa Peak is not an official U.S. Forest Service trail and receives no official maintenance. There are no official signs or trail maps, and fallen trees or other obstacles may not be cleared. It’s a very challenging climb, rated Hard by AllTrails, and it’s not for everyone. If you take it on, give yourself time to acclimate to our elevation, bring the right gear and plenty of water, and be prepared for mountain weather to change quickly.
The good news? Hiking trails are abundant around Pagosa, with options for all levels. Head to the link in our profile, click Maps & Brochures, scroll to Hiking, and find one that fits your adventure. 🥾
