About Pagosa Outside
Pagosa Outside is a downtown outfitter and river gear shop that has become the go-to source for San Juan River adventures in Pagosa Springs. Based on Pagosa Street in the center of town, the company pairs guided trips with a full retail store, making it easy for visitors to book a float and pick up gear in the same stop.
Their signature offerings are guided whitewater rafting trips on the San Juan River, with routes suited to a range of skill levels from mellow family floats to livelier rapids. In warmer months they also run popular river tubing adventures with shuttle service, and they rent inflatable kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and tubes for those who want to explore the water on their own. The on-site gear shop stocks paddling and outdoor equipment for anglers, boaters and hikers heading into the surrounding San Juan National Forest.
What sets Pagosa Outside apart is its deep local knowledge and downtown convenience — the shop sits within walking distance of the hot springs and the river put-in, so guests can raft in the morning and soak in the afternoon. Knowledgeable staff help match visitors to the right trip and conditions, whether it's a first-time tube float or a guided run through town.
