Backpack and Hike
Herman Gulch is a well traveled trail, right off of I-70. It gets busy quickly. This trail is about a 6 mile out and back trail that starts with a sharp incline and runs along a river. This hike is especially gorgeous during wildflower season, usually beginning of July. The hike ends at a small lake with views the entire hike. You can continue onto other trails in the area but I haven't yet done that. * easy access *dog friendly *water *well marked *mountain views *wildflowers
