Mass Ascension

Sunday, October 15 Mass Ascension The morning starts with rain before dawn. By sunrise, the weather clears up, but not all the balloons take flight this morning. It is still thrilling to see over 200 balloons lift off. The two bees are the only special shapes that we notice. The day gets progressively nicer and the sun comes out. Today we head north on 550 thru the Zia Indian Reservation towards Colorado. This is a very scenic road. We arrive in Pagosa Springs at about 6:45 pm and check into ...

Pagosa Springs

Monday, October 16 Pagosa Springs Pa-go-sah: Ute Indian word meaning "healing waters" We begin our week with a soak in the mineral hot springs of the Pagosa Springs Resort. This unique resort boasts 18 mineral pools for soaking in therapeutic water ranging from 97 to 115 degrees. The travertine deposits have formed a beautiful landscape surrounding the pools. It feels like we are sitting among the frozen waterfalls of Yellowstone National Park. We try out many of the different pools for an en...

Mesa Verde National Park

Thursday, October 19 Mesa Verde National Park We drive up the winding road to the top of the mesa to the area of the concentration of the Anasazi Indians cliff dwellings. These houses were occupied around 1200 AD. Near the Visitor Center lies the Spruce Tree House. We walk down into the canyon to get a close-up view of the rooms built under the cliff hanging. Next, we take the ranger-guided tour of the large Cliff Palace. The low sun illuminates the golden walls perfectly. It is amazing to se...

Pagosa Springs

Pagosa Springs' claim to fame is the mineral hot springs that were discovered long ago by native American Indians, and were prized for their healing power. Today, these springs come out of the ground at 140 degrees, and are mixed with cooler spring water into various tubs ranging from 90-110 degrees in a very nice setting right next to the San Juan river. The river is currently raging, as snow continues to melt off the mountains. Today, we visited a snowmelt waterfall near Wolf Creek Pass (~ ...

We hiked, we ate, we smelled sulphur

Pagosa Springs is named after a very hot, bottomless, spring of water that smells like sulphur.<br><br>We hiked up to the top of a hill overlooking the city, ate lunch, and left for Durango. The vistas along the way from Chama, NM and Durango by way of Pagosa Springs were spectacular.<br>

Skiing at Wolf Creek

... for the medium slope! All that exercise left us tired and hungry, so we made our way back for a much deserved dinner with our family at Lance's grandparents' house. We had fun hanging out with Lance's mom, sisters Katarina and Lilliana, and Uncle Steve and Aunt Libby. It was our turn to cook, so Lance and I made our special citrus pesto chicken with goat cheese roasted potatoes -- a perfect meal bound to replenish our depleted energy after a long day of skiing. Mmmm ...

Chimney Rock and rafting.

The hike up to Chimney Rock was so worth it. The Park Guide made sure we missed nothing on the trail, pointing out flora and fauna, explaining about the ancient civilizations, migration of the native culture, their lifestyles and answering any questions we could throw at him. He also allowed us to go infront of our small group to the top so we could take photos of the Chaco Great House. We were running out of time and had scheduled a float trip down the river, but I ...

Skiing Wolf Creek, Co

3/28-3/30/08 This weekend we headed 3 hours north to Pagosa Springs, Co to go skiing at Wolf Creek and test out the local hot springs. Amy was finally hooked up with equipment made in this century, and for the first time, skied terrain that required hiking up higher than the lift service would provide. Although no world records were broken, the day ...

Back to Colorado

... Italian restaurant" **** that I fell for in Holbrook. Not sure why people in towns of less than 10,000 people think Italian is find dining. It's the cheapest and easiest food to make and I avoid it at all costs when I'm at home because to me its a rip off. And its never really good anyway so best to just make it yourself. So I decided to go further into town to pick a hotel since I knew the other three hotels on the West side ...
