After a long day outdoors Fairfield Pagosa Resort is a nice place to spend a night or two, and some of the water nearby flows, like Quartz Creek. Whohoo, so many enjoyable things in one place! Ruby Lake is great! A lake nearby is Big Ruby Reservoir; you can stay the night at River Hill Campground. Just can't get enough of the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. Whitewater paddling is pleasant on Rio Grande, and Big Ruby Dam has splendid water scenery.
