Summary

On October 26, 2026, Pagosa Springs experienced historic flooding as the San Juan River reached a 500-year peak flow. The severe weather resulted in widespread damage throughout the region, including ruined houses, electrical failures, and significant destruction to local infrastructure. Highway 151 and Highway 160 were notably impacted, with sections of the highways damaged or washed out. While restoration efforts are underway to clear debris and repair roads, the flooding necessitated evacuations and the closure of multiple routes. Local authorities and the Colorado Department of Transportation continue to monitor the situation as the community begins the recovery process.
