Overview

Perched west of the Tarryall Reservoir, Packer Gulch Road delivers a high-altitude off-roading experience amidst the predominantly flat landscapes of the area. This secluded trail ascends near-alpine heights, nestled between two 11,000 feet peaks within the expansive Badger Mountain Trail Network. Although the dense trees seldom part to unveil grand vistas, drivers relish the engaging switchbacks and the thrill of driving to the highest vehicular point within the entire network. Beyond the trail's terminus lies a spacious campsite, an ideal base for a weekend filled with exploration and adventure in the surrounding region.
