Description

Baxter Gulch has a seasonal closure. Each year, the trail is open starting May 1, snow pending, and it is closed to the public on Oct. 31.

An awesome ride right from the town of Crested Butte. Baxter has it all…steep climbs, gulch crossings, technical terrain, and sustainable alignment that provides magical access to some high country just outside of town. Ridden great on its own as an out and back or, for experts, loop it up with Carbon Creek Trail #436 to the Green Lake Trail for an amazing singletrack loop!
