San Juan NF — Divide RD

Schubarth is a 10.3-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the town of Colorado, managed by the San Juan National Forest's Divide Ranger District. This moderately-distanced route offers hikers a full immersion into the San Juan Mountains landscape. The trail follows an out-and-back format, allowing hikers to turn around at any point that suits their fitness level or time constraints. The full distance of 10.3 miles provides a substantial day hike experience for those seeking extended time in the backcountry. As part of the San Juan National Forest system, the trail passes through diverse terrain typical of the region, including mixed conifer forests and high country meadows. The Divide Ranger District maintains this trail as part of an extensive network serving the southern Colorado mountains. This route is ideal for hikers looking for a solid workout without requiring technical mountaineering skills or overnight camping. The out-and-back configuration means hikers should plan accordingly for the full return journey, making early starts advisable.
