About

Ridgway Athletic Park in Ridgway, Colorado, offers a moderate hiking experience at an elevation of 7,014 feet. Located on the Western Slope near County Road 23, the park is accessible year-round but is particularly suited for fall hikes from September through November. The trails are generally dry and firm during this season, providing stable footing for a typical duration of about two hours. The park includes parking and restrooms, making it convenient for visitors. It is pet-friendly, allowing leashed dogs on the trails. While distinct from the larger Ridgway State Park nearby, which features over 14 miles of marked trails and a reservoir, Ridgway Athletic Park serves as a dedicated local recreational space. The moderate difficulty level makes it suitable for a leisurely walk or a brisk hike, depending on the user's pace.
