In winter months, please make sure your vehicle is AWD/4WD
In winter months, Pagosa Springs gets very heavy snow. Although we regularly plow and maintain our property here at Coyote Hill Lodge, heavy snow falls can make it difficult to get around without an AWD/4WD vehicle. We highly recommend this to avoid any issues with getting stuck in the snow and needing towed during your trip
