Trail Overview

Just outside of Silverton, Colorado, looms the majestic Kendall Mountain, a destination that beckons to adventure seekers and off-road enthusiasts. The trail is notorious for its dramatic drop-offs, where the edge of the path seems to vanish into the abyss below, offering panoramic views that are nothing short of spectacular. You'll encounter a boulder-lined roadbed that demands both caution and skill. The boulders and rugged terrain are a testament to the raw, untamed beauty of the Colorado high mountains, making every twist and turn a memorable part of the adventure. The breathtaking vistas, the crisp mountain air, and the sense of solitude make this a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. On your way up you will pass an old box car from a train as well as a gated mine.

Beautiful trail very close to Silverton. Long shelf trail, especially near the top. Be sure to watch for others as there’s not many places to pull over. The views are fantastic and you get a bird’s eye view of Silverton.
