Ancient fossils still lie hidden in the bold and bronzen buttes of Badlands National Park, a protected wilderness penetrated by hiking and biking trails.
The Animas City Trail offers a quick workout ride for mountain bikers in the Durango area. The Animas City Trail climbs quickly and steeply and descends just as fast, giving a good cardio blast and requiring the downhill reflexes kick in.
The Animas City Trail is actually two trails; the singletrack is a pedestrian trail and the double track is a bike trail. Riders should take note of this and find the correct route. The beginning climb can either be ridden straight up or on switchbacks. In addition, the downhill can be quite loose and has several ledges along the way. Riders generally go counter-clockwise on this loop.
