Welcome to Walker’s Crossing, a deeply unique and expansive property along the Animas River in the San Juan Range of Southwestern Colorado. A private canyon where earth seems to have risen up in grandeur and river meets stone and stone meets sky. Frozen in time, a space of wild beauty. Where jagged cliffs, dark with Ponderosa Pine, Spruce and Juniper meet vast canyons carved powerfully through time, de las Río de las Ánimas Perdidas. A terrain wild, peaceful and serene where the scenic landscape feels close enough to touch. Bordered on three sides by over 75,000 acres of national forest, this 160 acre sanctuary provides ultimate privacy, untamed nature and access to the amenities of beautiful Durango, Colorado within 20 minutes.
Fire danger is of utmost importance. Please note fires are not always permitted and it is imperative all guests strictly follow local and county guidelines.
To walk here is to feel small and infinite at once, as if the mountains themselves are old guardians, watching, patient and untamed evoking both the power of the river and its lifeblood role in the canyon. This is a land where stone and water have long been at war and in love.
Sheer canyon walls, jagged and ancient, rise like cathedral spires, darkened by rain and time, cloaked in lichen and the deep green hush of pine. The river, restless and wild, carves its silver path through the rock like a vein of motion through stillness, churning with the stories of storms upstream. Trees cling stubbornly to impossible ledges, reaching skyward with quiet defiance, their roots tangled in myth. This is not just a canyon it is a hymn to geologic memory but a sacred wound in the earth where beauty roars.
