The area surrounding Purgatory offers an endless variety of beautiful hiking trails for you to discover. The San Juan Mountains are a rugged, breathtaking subrange of the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Colorado. Famous for deep glacial valleys, jagged peaks, and vibrant alpine lakes, this region offers everything from mellow waterfall strolls to strenuous 14ers.

Please note: We do not offer any hiking trails from the base area of Purgatory. Hiking on bike trails is prohibited at all times, 7-days a week. This includes while our trail crews are performing maintenance Monday-Wednesday.
