The Young Gulch Trail is a fantastic, hidden-gem that takes you gently upward across over a dozen stream crossings and through fields of wildflowers. The trailhead is just off the highway and has spots for about a dozen cars and no facilities. As you hike, you will pass through stands of juniper, ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and hundreds of wildflowers in the spring. The moderate terrain and beautiful scenery make this a fantastic hike just a short distance from Fort Collins.
