Hudson Ditch is an extremely scenic, short, 1-mile dead-end spur trail off Medano Pass that skirts the eastern boundary of the Grand Sand Dunes National Preserve. The trail is a rocky, steep, prolonged climb traveling through thick aspen forest. Exposed and loose rocks up to baseball and softball size will be encountered the entire length of the trail, necessitating the need for high clearance and low-range 4WD. The trail offers around a dozen dispersed campsites, most of which offer incredible views and vary in size from suitable for a single vehicle to several vehicles.
