Chromo
Just north of the Colorado-New Mexico border, about twenty miles
from Pagosa, is Chromo, Colorado. It is a business/post office
with distant housing development on both sides of the road. To
the far right are Elephant Head and Navajo Peaks. The red bluffs
to the left are the last of the mesas common to New Mexico, the
area south of this photo.

seen to the right and others hidden in the trees around the lake.

here.

At about two and a half miles south, just past the ridge seen
in Echo Canyon View photo is Valley View Ranch, one of the most
photographed and painted scenes in the area. Take a good look,
rumor is that this will become a golf course soon.

Downtown Pagosa Springs
The scenery just gets better downtown Pagosa Springs. The beautiful
river front just across from the historic main street is a beehive
of activity both on and around the river. The Springs Hot Spring
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.
