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.
