• Animas River Trail - Along the route, you’ll encounter the Animas River, a 126-mile tributary of the San Juan River. This stunning river may have a gentle name now, but the first European explorer to discover it gave it a much more ominous title.

As you pass through, you’ll gain insight into the history of the Ute tribe who once called this their home, and what happened to them when the mining boom began.
• Ironton - Along your journey, you’ll encounter the remnants of Ironton. Once a thriving mining town, built largely around iron ore extraction, Ironton is now one of many ghost towns left behind after mining operations in these mountains ceased. The last Ironton resident passed away in 1960.
