Poncha Springs

Built around the mineral springs that gave it its name, Poncha Springs grew into a small mountain town at the northern approach to Poncha Pass. Set in Colorado’s upper Arkansas River valley, it stands where U.S. Highways 50 and 285 meet, just south of Salida. The Sawatch Range lies to the west, while Poncha Pass leads south toward the San Luis Valley. Long a route between the Arkansas Valley and southern Colorado, the pass remains central to the town’s identity.
