Animas Overlook Trail
The Animas Overlook Trail is a short, very pleasurable trail that tells of the diverse forces that shaped this corner of the state. Nine interpretive signposts along this wheelchair-accessible path provide the kind of geological, ecological, and historical information that normally requires paging through several guidebooks. This recently completed trail is a cooperative project initiated by the area’s Business and Professional Women. It was designed and developed by members of the San Juan Forest Service and completed by a crew of developmentally disabled adults from Durango. Ultimately, braille guides will be available for the trail. This forest trail is rich with signs of wildlife.
