Horse Gulch & Telegraph Trails

The Horse Gulch & Telegraph Trails are less than a mile from your room at the Gable House Inn and offer novice-expert riding options. From smooth and fast to rugged and steep, this system has it all. The Horse Gulch is the staple of Durango mountain bike rides with the main trailhead just east of E 8th Avenue on 3rd Street. The Mesa Connector Trail also begins on the Horse Gulch Trail system. The Gable House Inn offers free bike storage for our guests, and there are several local bike shops within walking or biking distance - and several offer rentals.

The Trails at Fort Lewis College

Fort Lewis College is often referred to as the "Campus in the Sky" due to the very scenic Rim Trail surrounding the campus. The Sky Rim Trail at Fort Lewis College is easily accessible from the Gable House Inn with a short walk and challenging hike up the Sky Steps, or a short drive from your free parking spot on 5th Avenue to Fort Lewis campus.
