Chimney Rock
See the article in Anasazi History
for a description of the Chimney
Rock Archaeological Area. Many places in the country have
“deer warning” signs; not a lot have “elk warning”
signs. It is best to slow down and watch carefully as elk can
weigh over one thousand pounds!

Capote Lake (ka-po-tea)
Capote Lake rests on Ute Reservation property just east of Chimney
Rock and within view of Highway 160, about fifteen miles west
of Pagosa Springs. The Utes stock this lake with fish and allow
the public to pay a fee for fishing with no need for a Colorado
fishing license.

view shows Pagosa Lake at Pagosa Lakes/Fairfield Development.
Pagosa Lakes has several nice and well cared for lakes for fishing
and recreation.

Downtown Pagosa Springs
The scenery just gets better in downtown Pagosa Springs. The beautiful
riverfront just across from the historic main street is a beehive
of activity both on and around the river. The Hot Springs Resort
is to the right and the Chamber of Commerce is to the left. The
hill in the background has a hiking trail system and great views
of the surrounding mountains.
