This route has it all! You get to explore the awesome bike downtown Durango bike paths, a quiet road to the Colorado Trail trailhead, and a challenging gravel climb to the Animas Overlook. The overlook provides 360 degree views of the million dollar highway along with picnic tables and a vault toilet to make it the complete rest stop on this route!
We did this route on our San Juan Mountain Road Trip and it was one of our favorites on the trip! After spending a lot of time researching where we wanted to go, save the time and follow this route on your adventure in Durango!
