Jenny Lind Gulch goes downhill to the northwest from Moon Gulch. The trail is shown as 413.1 on the MVUM, but signage at the trailhead shows 413.2. The trail descends gradually for the first half mile before making a sweeping turn to the north. The trail crosses a beautiful open hillside full of wildflowers before entering the forest to follow the gulch downhill for another mile and a half.
There are rocky sections and two very tight corners between trees. The second of these is the hardest because it includes a root and rock ledge about 12 inches tall. Jenny Lind Gulch ends just before a muddy bog, according to the MVUM. There are tracks across the bog, but you shouldn't follow them. Turn around and return the way you came. It is a good idea to bring a saw with you. Tree falls blocking the road are quite common.
There are no established campsites on this trail.
