Pickle Gulch offers much of what four-wheeling on Colorado's Front Range is all about. Several moderately challenging obstacles include the rough hill with a rock slab on top. The trail is famous for this obstacle. Several of the obstacles have options to make them even more challenging. There are tight turns through dense forests and open hillsides with spectacular views. Expect to find steep hills, deep ruts, weathered mining structures, and tree-shaded campsites. The top of Pickle Gulch connects to the extensive network of trails around Dakota Hill and Oregon Hill, offering even more mining history, spectacular views, and offroad adventure.
