Part of the Twin Buttes Trail System.

Lightner Creek Trail is a future paved trail, in collaboration with the City of Durango. This trail is closed during the early phase of construction in the Twin Buttes subdivision

Twin Buttes Trail System has moderate steady climbs, tight banked turns and classic single track. While a popular mountain bike location, it is also a multi-use trail. It is located off Hwy 160 in Durango. There is a dirt parking lot near a gas station on the North side of the road. The main (East) trailhead is here and the second access trail is on Lightner Creek Road (CR 207) which will lead you east towards the main entry.
