Hiking City Spirit Mountain - Animas Mountain, Durango, CO

Animas%20Mountain%20Durango.JPG

This is the view of Durango, SW Colorado (4 Corners Region) from Animas Mountain. There are many trails in the immediate area of this town, this is the closest 'real' hike. Climbing to near 8200 feet the trail provides views in all four directions. There are two trailheads for the hike, both starting in residential areas within walking distance of Downtown.

For more details see the Pixler/Peel guidebook - 'Hiking SW Colorado'. That title is a bit of a misnomer, it's actually best as a day hike guidebook for the immediate city area - as far north as Silverton and including the La Platas to the West and the Vallecito/Los Pinos drainage to the East.
