spectacular views, fragrant trees, skater park, dogs, friendly people, rushing water, what's not to like?

This multiuse trail follows the meanderings of the Animas River as it travels many miles from the North of Durango, CO to the very South end of Durango. It is very wide, paved, and smooth. Great for a run, hike, or bike. Follows along the Durango and Silverton train tracks on portions of the trail - - so wave to... More

This trail is constantly in use by cyclists, walkers, runners and just sightseers. I always use it in the summer for bike rides to avoid the traffic on the main roads, but both visitors and locals use this gem every month of the year.
