About this trail

The Boggy Trail is a 17.1-mile out-and-back route located in Colorado near the town of Colorado, managed by the Rio Grande National Forest's Divide Ranger District. This trail offers hikers a substantial backcountry experience in the Rio Grande National Forest, traversing diverse terrain typical of the Divide area. The out-and-back format allows hikers to turn around at any point, making it flexible for different fitness levels and time constraints. With its length, the trail is best suited for experienced hikers prepared for a full day of hiking. The Rio Grande National Forest provides access to high-altitude wilderness in south-central Colorado, and the Divide Ranger District maintains numerous trails throughout this scenic region. Hikers should come equipped with adequate water, weather-appropriate clothing, and navigation tools, as conditions can change rapidly at elevation. Before heading out, check current trail conditions with the Rio Grande National Forest or the Divide Ranger District, as maintenance and accessibility may vary seasonally. This trail offers solitude and natural beauty characteristic of the San Juan Mountains area.
