The Hermosa Creek Trail in Durango Colorado is an iconic shuttle ride where you get dropped off back behind the Purgatory ski resort and ride all the way back down to the Lower Hermosa Creek Campground.
If you’re staying at the Lower Hermosa Creek Campground you can have the Hermosa Tours Shuttle pick you up at a parking lot just a few miles down the road from the campground. It’s a GREAT way to ride it!
On this trail be prepared to get slapped around by overgrown trees and bushes. I wouldn’t ride this trail without wearing pants, long sleeves, gloves, and glasses. It was that abusive!
The trail itself was a very easy Blue without really any technical challenges, and the only thing to think about being a pretty constant drop on your right side.
Overall, I think this is a trail that everyone should ride once, but it will probably be a one and done for us, considering there is so many other great trails to ride in the Durango area.
