About

The Hoffheins Trail is a 1.3-mile singletrack mountain biking route in Durango, Colorado, located within the San Juan National Forest. Classified as difficult with an elevation of 6,535 feet, the trail serves as a fast descent from the Colorado Trail. Riders typically navigate through dense trees with occasional rocks and roots, allowing for high-speed travel. The trail connects to the Dry Fork Trail and Junction Creek Trail, forming part of a larger loop system that offers an alternative to the standard out-and-back route on the Lower Colorado Trail. Parking is available near the trailhead, and pets are permitted. The recommended season for riding is April through October, though conditions depend on local weather and snowmelt.
