Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland
Available for snowshoeing & cross-country skiing, the
1.5 mile Butler Gulch Trail is a moderate to stoop climb which takes you
through the trees on a narrow road. This leads to an open bowl where the
glades are ideal for telemark skiing.
To reach Butler Gulch from Highway 40 just south of Berthoud Pass,
take Henderson Mine Road. Just before reaching the mine's entrance gate,
bear right where at the parking area. Start traveling on the Jones Pass
road. After about 0.25 miles, Butler Gulch trail shoots off to your
left.
