Confirmed from Dalla Mountain Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

One of the best mountain bike trails! Get out there and give it a try stop at the visitor center here in Durango for a Dalla Mountain Park trail map and for other pertinent information! Great trails and views! If you have found any of this helpful please leave a like :)

Awesome trail complex, you might even forget how close you are to town! Lots of boulders, moss, and ponderosas. Trail maps at every junction so you can check where you're going

★★★★★ — Julia , Aug 2024

Fabulous place! Trails, bouldering, and climbing for several skill levels and different lengths of time. Stunning views. And, it's nearby 😁

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
