The BLM’s Stone Quarry Trails area is a venue for mountain bikers and hikers alike at elevations from 7,900 to 8,200 feet.  It is located between Monte Vista and Del Norte, just off of US highway 160 to the south; the entrance being less than five miles east of Del Norte and ten miles west of Monte Vista, on Gun Club Road.

To date there are 7.4 miles of purpose built slick rock and natural surface trail, rated intermediate to difficult. This is a unique, rugged region with large boulder formations which give the user a sense of seclusion. In a scenic canyon land, the rock-featured trail system is a technically challenging play area with many short, tight, twisty loops. Several times the trail surfaces from the rock canyons, giving brief panoramic views of the entire Valley and surrounding mountain ranges.  This is a high desert canyon of rock formations and outcroppings, dry washes, and a few meadows with a mix of prairie grasses, fringed sage, four-wing salt brush, prickly pear cactus, yucca, rabbitbrush, and a few pinon and juniper trees. Open most of the year.  See Map Here
