This loop is very easy to follow via the many signs along the way. Officially this loop is a lollipop heading in a counter-clockwise direction. Ride/hike up the doubletrack for a few hundred yards from the parking area and take you’re right at your first trail junction. Keep taking right turns at all junctions to follow this loop in a counter-clockwise direction. After 2.5 miles you will reach the loop’s high point and a beautiful view of the Animas River Valley. The trail then descends 2.5 miles with great views of the La Plata Mountains to the west. The trail rejoins the “stick” of the lollipop at the bottom and down to the parking area where you started.
