Cuba Gulch #477
The Cuba Gulch Trail #477 begins at BLM's Cuba Trailhead and ends at forest boundary where it intersects the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. With a gentle grade, and only a few steep spots, the trail offers some beautiful scenery. Spectacular views of narrow canyons and waterfalls can be seen along the trail. A small herd of Bighorn sheep can occasionally be seen along the cliffs to the north. Parts of the trail can be difficult to follow and horse travel is not recommended because of steep drop offs.
