PAGOSA SPRINGS, COLORADO

This morning we leisurely packed up and left Mesa RV Campground in Cortez for a couple of hours to Pagosa Springs. The man who washed our motorhome in Yuma is from Pagosa Springs and recommended we stop by to visit the area and soak in one of the many mineral spring pools.  We pulled into a public parking lot across from the visitor's center hoping to find a place to spend the night.  Most of the RV parks in the area don't open until May 1st.  We decided to just spend the afternoon soaking.

We choose Healing Waters Resort and Spa.  It's not a new place and some of the buildings could use work but the large pool was clean and there was only six other people there.  The men and women's private  facilities had the super hot spa, about 110 degrees, which I could only manage to spend a few minutes before needing to take a cold shower.  It was extremely relaxing and so good for detoxing the body.  Price was reasonable at $9 each for seniors.

After our soak we drove a couple more hours through the beautiful snow-capped mountains    The Winnebago Journey diesel pusher went up those mountains nice and smooth, unlike our prior gas motorhome.  Some of the roads were a bit narrow, no guard rails and with a vertical drop that was rather scary but we made it safe and sound to our destination, a Walmart in Alamosa.

We didn't think we'd been to Alamosa before but our National Park book showed that we were here in 2014 visiting the Great Sand Dunes National Monument & Preserve.  Guess our memory isn't as good as it used to be.

Thanks for stopping in to say hi.
