Turkey Springs is a great cross-country style trail system with 30+ miles of intertwining beginner and intermediate multi-use trails nestled within a ponderosa pine forest. Numerous loops originating from several different trailheads are available. Gravel forest service access roads and ATV trails provide additional connectivity and loop options. The area offers aspen stands, large open parks, rock outcroppings. The terrain is generally fairly gentle but rocks, short steep pitches and side slopes add variety.

Travel Tips

  • Know before you go! Get detailed trail information and conditions at pagosatrails.org.
  • Stop in The Hub Bike Shop in Pagosa Springs for expert advice on where to ride. Pick up maps, gear and supplies or rent bikes from their large fleet of kids bikes and trailers, cruisers, mountain bikes, road bikes and e-bikes.
  • While well marked, it is easy to become turned around or end up on the ATV trails. Stop at each intersection and consult a map.
  • The Turkey Springs trailhead is 5.3 miles north on Piedra Road from the intersection of Piedra Road and 160 highway. The trailhead parking lot is on the left, immediately after the cattle guard.
  • With three breweries and a locally owned taphouse in Pagosa Springs, you won’t go thirsty.

We’re thrilled to see so many people out enjoying (and often rediscovering the joy of) riding a bike right now, and we’re asking ALL bicyclists to do their part to prevent the spread of #covid19 by wearing a mask or other face covering when out for a ride. Doing so keeps you, your loved ones, those around you, and all Coloradans safer while helping reduce stress on our medical system. If you still need a mask, click the link in our bio to pre-order one now and support our advocacy work! Thanks so much to everyone who has already purchased, and to @primalwear for supporting our efforts over the years. Ride on.
  • #BicycleColorado volunteers and staff members spent time today helping @denverurbangardens and @denverfoodrescue deliver “Grow a Garden” food boxes to home-bound families in Denver—via bike! Supporting our community on two wheels makes for a great way to spend a sunny day. Many thanks to our friends @ddchen47, David M., and @juggernautcargo for your help! Head to denverfoodrescue.org or dug.org to learn more about these great local organizations. #rideyourbike
  • Tonight the #BicycleColorado team celebrated Stacey, our outgoing Development Director, with a virtual happy hour. Stacey has been an absolute rockstar for BC. We’re sad to see her leave, but thrilled for her as she heads out on a new adventure (hopefully in the #BikeAdvocacy space!) in North Carolina. Please join us in wishing her well!
