Durango Mountain Biking
Durango Mountain Biking - What to Know
There are few spots where you can pedal straight from a coffee shop onto 300+ miles of singletrack—and still have enough legs left for an après beer at the local brewery. Durango is one of them.
The riding here is as varied as the landscape. You'll find buttery flow, tight switchbacks, rocky ledges, and wide-open ridgelines—sometimes all in the same ride. Plus, it’s all wrapped in wide-angle views of red rock, pine forests, and snowy peaks. Whether you’re here to bag vert, learn the basics, or just chase that perfect corner, Durango delivers.
Durango’s Trail Systems at a Glance
- In-Town Trails – Horse Gulch, Overend Park, Twin Buttes, and Three Springs offer loops and lollipops for every level. No shuttle needed—just ride from wherever you're staying.
- Alpine Epics – For the ambitious, Engineer Mountain and Kennebec Pass bring long, rugged rides above treeline.
- Shuttle Missions – Hit the remote stretches of Hermosa Creek or mash through the classic Colorado Trail with a guide and van support.
- Nearby Networks – When snow creeps in, riders head to Phil’s World in Cortez or Alien Run in Aztec, NM, for winter-friendly desert dirt.
- Downhill riding at Purgatory Resort - If you're looking for chairlift access downhill riding, Durango has that too.
