About
The Hogsback Loop is a 4.5-mile mountain biking route in Overend Mountain Park, Durango, Colorado, rated difficult with an elevation of 6,535 feet. The trail typically takes about two hours to complete and is accessible from April through October. Riders access the loop via the Leyden Street trailhead, which offers parking and allows leashed dogs. The route combines base trails with the prominent Hogsback ridge feature, known for its steep ascent and exposed descent. The climb to the ridge often requires hiking the bike up a staircase-like section, while the descent offers fast, flowy terrain with loose, dry conditions and an eroded center trench. The trail provides views of downtown Durango and the Animas Valley, making it a visible but less frequently ridden option due to its technical demands.
