Wild Bill Gulch Road

This route works its way through the base of the foothills of the Sawatch Range, right above (and eventually down to) the open plains below. As you make your way through this rugged terrain, you'll see sweeping views of the surrounding peaks in both the Sawatch and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. Additionally, you may see large groups of the antelope common to this area, as there is a large watering hole in the southern portion of the trail. The trail itself is fairly rough and rocky, but you never leave the sight of Highway 285 below.
