Anderson is a hard hike in the Weminuche Wilderness, part of the Pagosa Ranger District of the San Juan National Forest in Colorado. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is an out-and-back that climbs from about 9,193 feet to about 11,547 feet over a distance of about 18.3 miles. The route is natural-surfaced and allows horses. The trail's high point sits well above the low point, and the climb is rated hard. Plan for a long day on foot or with a horse. Nearby, Fourmile Stock Dr. and Upper Fourmile are both hikes within about 3 miles. Fourmile Creek offers canoeing, and Park Creek Campground is about 4.9 miles away.
