\n<\/strong> <\/a><\/strong>Big Al Trail\u00a0 0.5 mile\u00a0 “surfaced, barrier-free trail leading…to a deck overhanging West Mancos Canyon.

The trailhead is across from the campground entrance.”\u00a0 From World Travel Blog <\/a>\u00a0(which includes directions to the trailhead):\u00a0 The trail “provides spectacular views of the west Mancos Canyon within the La Plata Mountains.\u00a0 With a total ascent of 53 feet over a half mile, this hike can be completed by anyone, including those in wheelchairs.”
\n<\/a>Animas Overlook Trail\u00a0 a “short paved but rough trail” in the area of a good picnic spot up the Junction Creek Road overlooking the north Animas Valley.<\/p>\n
