Washington Gulch is an easy trail that lies just north of the mountain town of Crested Butte. This trail will take you through picturesque meadows of wildflowers and jaggedly mountainous backdrops the area is known for. This trail is a camper's paradise if you don't have a built rig, with 47 different designated campsites to choose from. Camping is restricted to designated sites only. AWD vehicles and vans will have no problem completing the entirety of this trail. This trail has a bit of private land along the way, including the abandoned mining ghost town of Elkton, so if you see any private property signs, please respect them and do not camp or intrude on this land. If you are a biker or hiker, check out the Snodgrass trail network at the beginning of this trail. The biggest downside to this trail is that it is highly accessible, which means the campsites fill up fast, especially in peak season. Plan accordingly if you plan on camping out here, as it is a very popular spot.
