RMOTHG Trip – Butler Gulch

This is a beautiful "lollipop" hike, with about half of the trip being above timberline. We will encounter one short but steep section once we leave the trees and climb on top of the ridge.  The views of Butler Gulch, Ruby Gulch, and the surrounding peaks are well worth it.

We will meet at 6:45am at Wooly Mammoth Park and Ride – section EE - so we can form carpools and be on the road a few minutes after 6:45am.  Here’s a link to our meeting location in Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EMr3cVwDniXa1Bce7

The trailhead for this hike is the Jones Pass Trailhead, near the Henderson Mine, west of Empire before the road turns to go up to Berthoud Pass.  Here’s a Google Maps link for the trailhead:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/qT7xcdmyWtCsxq8e7
