Welcome to Pagosa Area Trails, where you will find detailed information about trails in the Pagosa Springs area. The primary purpose of the Pagosa Area Trails Council is to promote local trails within the Pagosa area of the San Juan National Forest. The Trails Council serves as a roundtable organization bringing together various trail user groups in the community, helps to mobilize government and non-profit groups, resolve trail conflicts and provide communication and coordination between trail user groups and Forest Service officials. The Trails Council also serves as a platform to provide training in trail construction, maintenance and planning of new trails.
