San Juan NF — Mancos-Dolores RD

The Wigwam Trail is a 23.3-mile out-and-back route located in Colorado near the Colorado area within the San Juan National Forest, managed by the Mancos-Dolores Ranger District. This extended backcountry trek offers hikers substantial mileage for a full-day or multi-day adventure through forest terrain managed by the US Forest Service. As an out-and-back trail, hikers will traverse the same route in both directions, allowing flexibility to turn back at any point based on time and energy levels. The significant distance makes this suitable for experienced hikers with good endurance and backcountry navigation skills. The trail falls under the jurisdiction of the San Juan National Forest's Mancos-Dolores Ranger District, which maintains trail infrastructure and manages access. Hikers should contact the ranger district for current conditions, trail status, and any required permits or regulations before visiting. Come prepared with adequate water, navigation tools, and supplies for an extended mountain trek. Check with local forest service resources for seasonal accessibility and detailed route information.
