Tucker Gulch, stretching for about eight miles, plays a significant role as a watershed running from east to west. It cuts through the prairie, situated roughly one mile north of Clear Creek Canyon, and runs parallel to it. The name "Tucker Gulch" is derived from Alfred Tucker, who ran a tollgate within the canyon entrance during the 1860s.

Cycling is not allowed here, so you'll have dismount and walk your bike.
