About
The Cutoff Trail is a short, 0.1-mile hiking route located in Durango, Colorado, on the Western Slope. Situated at an elevation of 6,874 feet, the trail is classified as moderate difficulty. Evidence indicates the route is brief, with typical completion times ranging from immediate to approximately three minutes, suggesting it functions primarily as a connector or access spur rather than a destination hike itself. Parking is available at the trailhead. The trail is accessible year-round, open from January through December. While some sources describe it as potentially steep due to its short length, the primary utility appears to be providing access to the broader trail network in the Durango area.
