Route Description for Geyser Trail
Although it is a bit out of the way to access, the Geyser Trail is an awesome hiking route to explore if you find yourself in this secluded part of the San Juan Mountains, as you will be able to meander through the beautiful forests and take in the views of an interesting natural feature.
Setting out from the parking area, you will head to the southeast and cross over the West Dolores River, before entering into the dense cover of the forest. Here, you will climb uphill alongside the banks of Geyser Creek, enjoying the views of the surrounding birch trees as you make your way to the geyser. Once there, you can pause for a quick rest and experience the bubbling waters of this fascinating geological feature, before heading back downhill on the return to the trailhead.
