Trail Canyon winds through the Dolores Ranger District of San Juan National Forest, northeast of Dolores, Colorado. This rough dirt road can be done in a stock 4x4 or high clearance vehicle. It offers access to mature Ponderosa Pines, stands of Aspen trees, and mixed meadows, as well as historic sites, such as the Beaver Creek Massacre Trail. The short spur at the southern end of the trail offers 360-degree views of the surrounding forest and canyon below.
There are various options for dispersed camping in open meadows or within the pine forest.
Seasonal closures typically run from December through mid-April; always check with the Dolores Ranger District for up-to-date motorized access information. It’s a popular corridor for dispersed camping, off‑road driving, hiking, wildlife viewing, and mountain biking—use proper etiquette, pack out trash, and respect trail regulations.
