Buckeye Gulch is located in the San Isabel National Forest and is only 2 miles long but it is rated as moderate to difficult on this multi-use trail. Not only do ATV riders love this road, but so do four-wheelers, hikers, motorcycle riders, and mountain bikers.
Before you ride, the Forest Service asks that you do always do a pre-ride inspection of your ATV to make sure it is in good working order. Too many times, people get stuck out on the trails simply because they didn't do a little preventive maintenance on their ATVs. It only takes a minute to assure your ATV is mechanically sound and you won't have to worry about anything being loose or breaking.
Additionally, make sure you have your ATV permit and you are familiar with the rules and regs from the Forest Service for riding your ATV in this area. Be sure and wear your DOT approved helmet and always tell others where you are riding. When the ATV trails are difficult as this one is, be certain to never attempt it alone.
This road is rough for an ATV because one portion has quite a bit of rocky, rough terrain. There is also a stream to cross amidst some dense lush foliage that includes willows and shrubs. Follow the Treadlightly standards when crossing streams on your ATV to do the least amount of damage possible to the natural beauty of Buckeye Gulch.
The ranger's station has the most current maps available, and you may think you don't need a map on a 2 mile trail, but definitely plan your ride out on this trail and you'll have a very enjoyable yet challenging ride.
