About

Alt Left is a 1.20-mile hiking and mountain biking trail located in Log Chutes, Durango, Colorado, at an elevation of 8,012 feet. The route is classified as difficult and typically takes about one hour to complete. It serves as a double black diamond singletrack alternative to the main downhill mountain bike trail in Log Chutes. The trail runs relatively flat through its middle section before pitching steeply with technical terrain near the end, featuring a notable drop and gap jump. Parking is available at the trailhead, which sits near Junction Creek Road and Logchutes 2. The trail is accessible year-round from January through December, though hikers should account for potential snow and ice during winter months. Dogs are permitted on the trail but must be kept leashed.
