Kelly Gulch is a peaceful, rough dirt forestry road near Silver City in the Black Hills. It can be accessed by taking Jenny Gulch Road north from Silver City Road. Kelly Gulch Road terminates in a small parking area with access to the Kelly Gulch hiking trail and the Deerfield hiking trail.
Kelly Gulch has several creek crossings improved with pavers; however, a few pavers have buckled up. This road can be traversed by any stock SUV and most high-clearance crossovers. Fall colors are abundant along Kelly Gulch Road and the surrounding area, and Christmas ornaments can be found on several of the trees as you drive deeper into the gulch.
One large clearing at the intersection of Kelly Gulch and Banner Gulch would allow two or three vehicles to camp. The parking area near the hiking trailhead at the end of the gulch would also allow two or three vehicles to stop for the night.
