Route Description for Kendall Peak Road Hike
If you are in the Silverton area and are looking for a challenging, but non-technical, route that will take you into the mountains for stunning views, then the Kendall Peak Road Hike will be a great option for you. This route is commonly used as an off-road vehicle trail, meaning that the terrain will be rough but the navigation will be straightforward.
Setting out from the heart of Silverton, you will head to the southeast along E 14th Street and cross over the Animas River. From here, you will head right at the fork in the road in order to make your way south and begin climbing up the mountainside.
Continuing along the winding road, you will climb uphill through the forest to the south, before the route bends towards the east. Here, the route will begin to climb at a steeper grade, as you traverse the alpine basin to reach a point just below Kendal Mountain and Kendall Peak. Take some time here to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views, before working your way back along the same trail to descend into Silverton.
