Colorado Trail to Gudy’s Rest
Cappie’s Scoop: When I visit Durango, sometimes I need to get out but mom doesn’t want to drive too far. So we found this spot on the popular Colorado Trail. We pass a lot of hoomans with dogs and even hoomans on big bikes. They…
Sweetwater River Trail
Cappie’s Scoop: This hike starts on a really cool bridge! The bridge is so wide that I’m not scared of this one and it doesn’t wiggle. We’ve seen lots of birds, bunnies and coyotes here. Mom says there are also road runners which are…
Slate Mountain
Cappie’s Scoop: This trail was closed for a while due to some wildfires but when it opened back up, I wanted to check it out! It was a very quiet trail with hardly anyone there. There are informational signs along the trail that describe the…
West Fork of Oak Creek

King & Sam’s Scoop: The area is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. There are many trails around this area to be hiked or mountain biked. That being said, you can make this adventure as short or long as you want. Beware though,…
