Horseshoe Gulch

Trail Overview

Horseshoe Gulch ** Park Rating: 3/5 ** Technical Rating: 7/10 ** Detailed Notes ** Steep declines with loose rocks, ledges, and heavy washouts. Tight turns, small creek crossings, and off-camber areas make this a true intermediate challenge. Becomes significantly harder after rain. There's a bypass loop, but it's still technical and not for beginners. Tests articulation and line choice. ** Vehicle Recommendations ** Lift with 37" tires minimum, lockers recommended, winch suggested, spotter helpful. ** Full Description ** Horseshoe Gulch is a rugged trail that lives up to its name with winding lines and dramatic changes in elevation. Steep rocky drops, tight corners, and heavily washed-out areas challenge even seasoned drivers. After rain, it transforms into an even tougher gauntlet, pushing you and your rig to their limits. The combination of ruts, creek crossings, and off-camber sections makes it a favorite for drivers looking to test their articulation and patience. An excellent trail for those craving a technical adventure without extreme exposure.
