Jenny Gulch Road is a four-mile connector between Rochford Road and Silver City Road north of Silver City in the Black Hills, providing access to Kelly Gulch. The route is a mix of gravel and rough dirt, with the northern half near Rochford Road being the rougher section. You’ll encounter shallow ruts and embedded rock, but any stock SUV and most high-clearance crossovers can make the drive. The corridor is lined with aspen, making it an especially scenic trip in the fall.

There are two small pullouts, one near each end of the road, that can fit a couple of vehicles with trailers or tents. Campfires are not allowed in Black Hills National Forest outside established campgrounds with fire rings.
