    At the southern terminus of the Colorado there is a parking lot for about 20 cars. It’s quite a popular trailhead, so it will not be hard to get a ride into Durango if you need it. There is a pit toilet and a trail sign with map for the Colorado Trail and the area.

      The southern terminus of the Colorado Trail is located at the Junction Creek Trailhead, 4.5 miles northwest of downtown Durango. The Colorado Trail is maintained by the Colorado Trail Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
