    About

    The Animas Mountain Trail has an alternate segment that offers views of the surrounding area. This moderate hiking trail is accessible year-round, from January through December, and features parking available at the trailhead. The route itself is a variation of the main trail, designed to provide scenic overlooks of the Animas Valley and the San Juan Mountains. Hikers can expect a moderately challenging hike with varying trail conditions, and should be prepared for potential snow and ice during winter months.
