산후안 산맥 최고의 사이클링 경로

For a ski resort built from scratch in the 20th century, Mountain Village is quite impressive. Hiking, mountain biking, and golf are available in the summer. A weekly public scientific lecture is held for laypeople, for which one participant is selected from one of the workshops taking place that week in Telluride.

The view is mind-blowing! Stopp and enjoy it. It can't get any better than this.

There is a little parking area for the Hermosa Creek Trail system, which is quite extensive. And if you want to stay overnigt: The is a beautiful campground next to the trailhead, the Lower Hermosa Campground. It does not get much more convenient than this!

Hermosa Creek Trailhead and Jones Creek Trailhead are located just next to each other, with two separate trails that take you into or along the edge of Hermosa Creek Wilderness. At Jones Creek Trailhead, you will find a primitive campground and pit toilets.

Pinkerton Trail is a steep and rough stretch of singletrack that connects Jones Creek and Dutch Creek trail sections. While the trail is loose and rutted in sections, it is still mostly rideable by a good cyclist.

Dutch Creek Trail is a fast and fun downhill with a few rough sections that will keep you in check. There are many creek crossings and during early summer run off, some may be up to waist deep.

CR 250 is a much quieter and more scenic alternative than the traffic-ridden US 550 that travels through the middle of the valley. There are tall mountain walls on one side of you and views across the valley towards the La Plata Mountain Range in the other direction.

The trail from here is a mix of singletrack and doubletrack which climbs up towards the Junction Creek Trail (Colorado Trail) to the north. Taking a right at the intersection will lead you to Gudy's Rest, while taking a left will keep you headed for the CT.
