Mckenzie Gulch TH #1869
This wooded trail travels from West Brush Creek up to the Powerline Road #414, following McKenzie Gulch with a moderate climb through aspen, mountain maple and wild rose. As the elevation rises the vegetation changes to aspen mixed with spruce and fir. The trail is faint in some areas but easily found again, be sure not to follow any cattle trails. There are a number of switchbacks to accommodate the rise in elevation.
