This ride starts with a nice road climb up to the Colorado Trail. After just a short distance on the Colorado Trail look for some amazing views atop Corral Draw Trail. Descend one of the best backcountry trail in the Durango Area. You must cross Hermosa Creek after descending Corral Draw (check Hermosa Creek flow levels before riding. The creek can be very high and dangerous to cross in the early summer). Finish by riding back to your vehicle on Hermosa Creek Trail.
