Packer Gulch

Trail Overview

Packer Gulch is an out-and-back trail that begins just west of Tarryall Reservoir. The trail starts through open meadows with some dispersed camping areas that are suitable for a vehicle pulling a camper to navigate around and park comfortably. The trail starts double-wide with enough room for vehicles to pass. Do not take trailers past the T-junction between West Packer and Packer Gulch. Packer Gulch quickly becomes heavily wooded/single-lane as the trail ascends the mountain. Short-wheelbase vehicles will have no issues navigating the switchbacks. Long trucks will need to complete 3-point turns. Once at the trail end, there is plenty of room for around 8 vehicles, along with 2 dispersed campsites. There is a great overnight camp spot at the top of the trail. The area is great for OHV/ATV day riding with lots of adjacent trails to explore, including time spent at Tarryall Reservoir fishing or boating. It's great in the wintertime for snowmobiles.
