Colorado Gives Day Early Giving starts today

As you reflect on your hikes, runs, or mountain bike rides this year, did you notice the hundreds of downed trees cleared from trails like the Colorado Trail, Dry Fork, Hofheins, Engineer Mountain, and Pass Trail? Did you find joy in the meticulously maintained paths of Horse Gulch, Overend, Dalla Mountain, Twin Buttes, and Missionary Ridge, or the new trails built on Animas Mountain?

Perhaps the new Strike Team quickly addressed a downed tree or erosion issue, or maybe you were inspired by our stewardship campaigns, social media updates, and newsletter stories, deepening your connection to the trails we all cherish.

At Durango Trails, these projects represent just a fraction of what we’ve accomplished in 2024, thanks to your unwavering support. For over 34 years, we’ve worked to preserve and enhance our trail networks. But we couldn’t have done it without you—the incredible community that believes in the power of trails to connect us to nature and to one another. Now more than ever, we need your help. Your year-end gift is critical to ensuring that Durango Trails has the resources to keep our trails open, safe, and thriving for everyone. As trail usage increases and natural challenges like weather and erosion grow, so too do the costs of maintaining these precious spaces. Without your continued generosity, the very trails that bring us joy, peace, and adventure could face neglect. By making a gift today, you are investing in the future of our trails—and in the well-being of our community. Every dollar you contribute goes directly to supporting vital projects: clearing and maintaining trails, building new pathways, and fostering the next generation of trail stewards. Please DONATE Today and Give Back to the trail that Give You so much Joy.
