Twin Buttes of Durango recently announced that all trails in the 12-mile Twin Buttes trail system are now open for public recreation.
Specifically, the lower Lightner Creek Trail reopened from the west trailhead on Lightner Creek Road (County Road 207) to the east trailhead, west of the Giant gas station, 20453 U.S. Highway 160. The trail has been closed while construction of the Historic Tram Park, to be dedicated to the city of Durango, continued in the area.
The trail system is open to hiking, trail running, horseback riding and mountain biking. Trail users should be respectful, aware of their surroundings and uphold common trail practices, such as leave-no-trace, never scare the animals, keep bicycles in control, yield appropriately and plan ahead. Trails should not be used for 24 hours after the area has received major rainfall.
