Review of Pagosa Springs Color,

No place for kids, young adults
Star Rating - 4/6/2011
I can't imagine why anyone with children would target Pagosa Springs. While beautiful, there is almost zero to do for youngsters, plus the school system has recently become the worst I've ever encountered, for the most part. The local governments lack leadership and are at least two decades behind the times. Unless you're a retiree, this ultra-conservative, backwards place will drive you to tears. Not the place for a career, culture or quality education. Great for outdoor recreation.

I know that this was made over 9 years ago but I've lived here for my entire life and there's plenty to do, however you are spot on about the education system being broken as someone who is still in it and has been through every grade in Pagosa Springs it lacks funding and people who have a passion of teaching. Growing up here has been a positive experience because of all the outdoor activities such as skiing, snowboarding, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, rafting, swimming in the river, football, mountain biking, dirt biking, snowshoeing, and catching lizards and snakes.

That is a good thing because some of us would like to live where there are less children. Not everybody needs to be breeders. You want a place for kids then move up here to Ketchum, ID. I will sell you my place. I am tired of all the families that have to have 3+ kids.

That is a good thing. I am tired of going to cool towns and always having excessive breeders there. You do not have to have kids to be a somebody. Try some birth control and enjoy life.

This is a good thing. Cool towns dont always have to be about the freaking kids. Quit breeding and try enjoying life without always having to be a mommy or daddy.
