Whether it’s tree filled mountains or red deserts, lake boating or downhill skiing―it’s all right outside your door in beautiful Bayfield, Colorado.

Take a short drive east of Bayfield and spend the day skiing or boarding at Wolf Creek Ski area, then head for a soak in Pagosa Hot Springs. Or, head west to the magnificent and mysterious Mesa Verde National Park to visit the ancient homes of the Ancestral Puebloans.

Embark on a scenic drive north of Bayfield, and you’ll find yourself at Vallecito Lake where you can rent a paddle boat or relax on the shore.  Chaco Culture National Historical Park is just to our south, and offers miles of hiking trails where you can explore architecture that is over 800 years old.

The fun and excitement are never ending, and Bayfield sits at the center of it all!
