Broad Gulch is a yearlong, two-mile stretch of rough dirt and gravel between Highway 385 and Silver City Road south of the Sugar Shack and north of Silver City. Broad Gulch has a few small ruts along the way, but could be traversed by a sedan or other low-clearance vehicle.

With its large amount of Aspen trees, Broad Gulch shines bright yellow in the Fall. Elk and other wildlife are known to live in this area, so keep an eye out for movement in the trees. Broad Gulch also provides access to several restricted-width and single-track OHV trails, so watch for other traffic.

A clearing at a restricted-width trailhead on the southern end of Broad Gulch would provide suitable space for several vehicles to camp.
