BLM: The Bureau of Land Management has reopened trails on Animas City Mountain and Grandview Ridge.


This includes all of Animas City Mountain adjacent to the northwest edge of Durango and all Grandview Area trails accessed from U.S. Highway 160 southeast of Durango.


The BLM closed the trails during the winter to provide shelter, privacy and forage to deer and elk. A BLM wildlife biologist said in a news release that the regrowth of vegetation at higher elevations provides food for the animals, allowing officials to reopen trail areas at lower elevations.


As we move into spring take advantage of our beautiful area. Hiking is a tremendous elixir for both the body and the mind.
