Happy Trails

For many it's an undervalued byway that provides safe passage from the vehicular road rage that occurs each morning and every afternoon. For others it's a priceless pathway that offers access to the adrenaline pumping whitewater passing through the valley each spring. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if it’s your morning commute to the Bean, your daily boat walk up Santa Rita Park during high water season, or a lazy afternoon with Lucky and his favorite Frisbee, the Animas River Trail means something to everyone. So head out and take advantage of the miles of paved trail and remember that a little solitude is just seconds from your front door.
