Gordon Gulch

Historically, Gordon Gulch is part of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests north of Nederland, Colorado. The area has long been used for dispersed camping and light recreation, with the trail itself primarily serving as access to higher-elevation forest areas and old logging roads. While there are no major mining ruins directly on this trail, it sits within a region with a rich history of 19th and early 20th-century mining activity in nearby gulches. Today, the trail is popular with offroad enthusiasts, hikers, and campers seeking a quiet alpine experience with minimal cellular service.
