Fort Lewis College
In Town Durango
Novice-Expert
The Campus in the Sky has the very scenic Rim Trail surrounding the campus on the mesa overlooking town and is generally easy except for a few exposed/rocky sections and the Lamppost. On the southwest corner of campus behind the dorms is a place known as the Factory Trails as the area’s maze of trails has helped produce MTB champions for years with frequent Wednesday evening STXC races, pump track, skills areas and the unique SloMo. This area is great for kids on striders and a wide variety of other bikes.
From town, the Rim Trail is best accessed via the Nature Trail from 10th St/6th Ave and Lion’s Den from the north behind the Chapman Hill Ice Rink. Riders can also access the Horse Gulch system via Talker.
