GMUG NF — Grand Valley RD

Ruybalid is a 5.1-mile loop trail located in Colorado near the town of Colorado, managed by the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest's Grand Valley Ranger District. This loop route offers hikers a moderate outing through the landscape of western Colorado's national forest system. The trail is maintained by the GMUG National Forest, ensuring it remains accessible for recreation. As a loop configuration, hikers return to their starting point, eliminating the need for shuttle arrangements or out-and-back travel. The Ruybalid Trail is ideal for hikers seeking a day hike option without the commitment of a lengthy backpacking trip. The loop format makes it convenient for those who prefer circular routes. The trail's proximity to Colorado makes it accessible for both local visitors and those traveling to the region.
