About

Missouri Mountain is a 3.3-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the San Juan National Forest, managed by the Columbine Ranger District (East). This route offers hikers a straightforward mountain experience with a defined path that returns along the same route. The trail is situated within the San Juan National Forest, providing access to the high country landscape characteristic of southwestern Colorado. The out-and-back format makes it easy for hikers to turn around at any point, offering flexibility for different skill levels and time constraints. With its modest distance, Missouri Mountain is suitable for hikers seeking a moderate day hike experience. The trail's proximity to Colorado makes it accessible for both local explorers and visitors to the region. Hikers should check current conditions with the Columbine Ranger District before heading out, as mountain weather in the San Juan range can change rapidly. The ranger district office can provide information about trail maintenance, seasonal closures, or any recent updates affecting accessibility.
