I visited Pagosa Springs, including Chimney Rock, many years ago. This area has imprinted on my soul and I look forward to visiting again soon. We camped in our rv on the river in Pagosa, sat and swam in the mineral hot springs, hiked Chimney Rock, visited waterfalls and 4-wheeled through the San Juan National Forest. I felt it in all of these places, am not sure exactly what I felt other than a great connection to the area, a warm fuzzy feeling and a sense that I had been there before. Chimney Rock was breathtaking, so beautiful and peaceful, maybe it was the feeling of accomplishment after hiking to the top but I was energized and could breathe better than ever before, and I felt an abundance of love. On our drive from Texas through New Mexico, we stopped and camped for a couple nights at The Rio Chama RV campground in Chama, NM, alongside the historic Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad Bridge on the Rio Chama river located in the Rocky Mountains, and in that spot where the bridge is, I felt the same peace, and love with a sense that I had been there before. Chama, NM is just seven miles South of the Colorado/New Mexico border, minutes from Pagosa Springs. – Rachael
