All in Dirt Bike - SW CO
Maggie and Minnie Gulches are great trails for dirt bikers of all skill levels. They’re very easy and can be done in only an hour or two (with time included for photos). The staging area for these trails is off of CR 2 at Middleton. We enjoyed seeing the old mills, machinery, and waterfalls. Add this trail to your list the next time you’re near Silverton. The trail wasn’t busy and we didn’t see anyone once we got past the shelf road.
California Gulch trail is a great ride for dirtbikers of all skill levels. You will see the Columbus and Bagley Mines and the ghost town of Animas Forks. The trail takes 1-2 hours to ride (time included for pit stops and photos!). You can also access several other popular trails from California Gulch including Placer Gulch, Corkscrew Gulch, Poughkeepsie Gulch, and Engineer Pass. This trail is best ridden from July to September.
