Grandview Ridge trails are subject to winter wildlife closures.

To protect wintering wildlife, the BLM Tres Rios Field Office annually closes trails to all access in the Durango area from Dec. 1 through April 30 (possible to open April 15 if conditions warrant). For the latest information please call the BLM Tres Rios Field Office at (970) 882-1120.

Description

Also known as "Grandview Rim" this is a very smooth, fast, and curvy trail with lots of turns and great views down into the valley. Built in 2000, it is a beautiful example of trail design and construction at its best.

The northern portion of the trail, after you cross Big Canyon Trail, is more of a cruiser, with graceful curves and smooth trail along the way.
