Slaughterhouse Gulch is a locally famous off-road trail near Bailey, CO, attracting locals in droves most weekends. The loop has several small obstacles, making it perfect for a day of climbing rocky sections and flexing out your suspension. Though the trail isn't particularly scenic, it does offer beautiful aspen groves that turn gold in the fall, drawing leaf-peepers. Multiple large parking areas and proximity to Highway 285 and County Road 43 make it ideal for large groups. Its popularity means it can get crowded on weekends, so visiting on weekdays or planning a night run is best.
