Driving up to Animas Forks via Picayune Gulch feels like threading your way through one of the San Juans’ most dramatic pieces of high‑country terrain. The climb starts gently, then quickly commits you to steep, narrow stretches carved into loose rock and alpine tundra, with the gulch opening around you in a sweep of rugged peaks and old mining scars. As you gain elevation, the road delivers that classic Colorado mix of exposure and beauty—tight switchbacks, splashing through shallow creek crossings, and long views that make you pause even when the trail demands your full attention. Cresting the top and dropping toward Animas Forks feels like stepping back in time: the ghost town appears suddenly in the basin below, framed by ridgelines and the remnants of a once‑booming mining era. It’s a route that blends challenge, history, and jaw‑dropping scenery into one unforgettable drive.

This listing is for a 3D‑printed artistic magnet inspired by the terrain of the Animas Forks via Picayune Gulch 4x4 Trail in Colorado. Elevation is intentionally exaggerated to highlight the dramatic contours and make the details visually striking. Each piece is designed and printed in my Colorado Springs studio using open‑source tools and my own creative process.

Dimensions are approximately:

Small: 5"

Medium: 7"

Large: 12"

I design and print these myself using open source software and my own creative juices.

I have many more trails and topographies available in my shop!

Perfect for gifts of any occasion – birthdays, Christmas, events, races, anniversaries, or just because you love someone.

SHIPPING:

I will ship as soon as I am able. Expedited shipping can be available in certain circumstances (for an additional charge), however, many items are made to order and can take 1-5+ days to produce depending on design and print time. If you need your item for a special event, please let me know and I will do my best to meet your deadline. Shipping fees on Etsy can be a little clunky, so if you have a large order, contact me to negotiate correct shipping.

Local pickup is available in Colorado Springs, CO.

MATERIALS:

All models (unless custom request) will be 3D printed using PLA plastic. Please be aware that minor flaws are to be expected from the 3D printing process, especially on the bottom of the model. Many products are made using rainbow or color gradient filaments. This means that the color changes along the length of the filament roll and that colors may not be identical to those seen in the pictures. For a better idea of color choices, please see the color choice page on my website (www.3dadventureprinting.com).

SAFETY:

The 3D-printed items offered for sale here are not recommended for young children. They are also not recommended for use with animals, like as aquarium decorations, or for direct contact with food, like as cake decorations. Finally, they are not recommended for critical applications or severe environments. Do not expose to temperatures above 130F (hot car) or warping may occur.
