Fat Bike Trails
Pagosa Springs has trails groomed specifically for fat biking and some great multi-use trails that are also great for fat biking. Riding is best done in the morning as the snow can get soft in the afternoon.
Trails groomed for snowmobiling can also be great for fat biking. The Wolf Creek Trailblazers groom many miles of trails. Check their website for specifics.

** Please do not bike on trails specifically groomed for skate/cross country skiing or snowshoeing. Bikes compress the trails in such a way that they are no longer compatible for skiing. Check trail head signage to ensure trails are rated for fat biking. **
