Animas Mountain Trails & Conditions

Animas Mountain rises straight off the north edge of Durango on BLM land, a loop system that climbs the flank of Animas City Mountain for big views over the Animas River valley and the town below. It's a sustained, rocky climb-and-descent on south-facing slopes that dry early in the season, making it a go-to when riders want to get out before the high trails open up.
