Resort complex Pagosa with buildings, parking lots, and thermal pools bordering a river, surrounded by autumn foliage and forested mountains.
AUTUMN AWAKENING

Cold Mornings. Warm Water.

The Best time to Soak.

Nothing about the water changes in the fall. The air does. Steam sits on the surface. Frost on the deck in the morning. The mineral water rises from the deepest geothermal spring in the world at the temperature it always has, and the colder it gets outside, the more that matters.

There’s no schedule you have to master. Choose what speaks to you, leave room for the unexpected, and experience fall in a way that feels like your own.

Autumn Awakening

While the Leaves Turn

Begin in the water, follow what feels good, and end the day with something worth savoring.

01

Soak

Settle into the water with the river in view. Feel the cool air on your face as you move between more than 45 pools. Between soaks, pick up a seasonal Pure Chaga Shroom Shrub from 1881 Poolside Provisions or The Canteen.

02

Breathe

Step into the Cinnamon Aroma Sauna with the mountains in view. Offered throughout September and October, this warming seasonal infusion invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and become more present in your surroundings.

03

Restore

Add a $25 Mud Flight in the Thermal Loft: five mineral-rich clays, each one applied to a different part of the body. Or book the Radiance Facial and take home a travel size iSUN Soothing Relief Balm.

04

Nourish

Finish at Wild Finch, our signature restaurant. Change out of your robe, or come in it, and stay in the slower rhythm of the day over a seasonal Caramelized Pear Salad and a Pagosa Collins.

Mineral-stained rock formations frame water flowing into a vivid turquoise pool, with steam and white particles rising into the misty air.
