Cimarrona 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 a natural-surface out-and-back that climbs from about 8,400 feet to about 11,800 feet over roughly 16.7 miles. The route is rated hard, and the one-way gain is about 3,300 feet. Cimarrona Campground sits less than a mile away, and Palisades Horse Camp is about a mile off, so both offer places to stay close to the trail. Indian Creek and Hossick are hikes about 2 miles away.
