Slaughter House Gulch
Side by Side, ATV, Motorcycles & Jeeps Trails
Colorado
If you are planning to spend a few days or a week in the Taylor Park area, the drive between Taylor Park and Tincup will eventually get boring. To spice things up and add a little more interest you may want to try Slaughter House Gulch.
To get from Taylor Park to Tincup you will actually use two different trails, Union Park and Slaughter House Gulch Trail. One of the cool things about Slaughter House Gulch is that the trail is narrower than many of the road width trails in the Taylor Park area.
There are many erosion bars that make for a roller coaster ride. It was really fun on our RZR rental from Colorado Adventure Rental.
Another old Colorado miners cabin along trail. Judging by all of the old ruins, I believe this area once had a much larger population than it does now. Or at least the community was more spread out and closer to the mines.
Nearing Union Park on Slaughterhouse Gulch Trail in Taylor Park Colorado. This is actually one of the my favorite photographs from this area, I just love the way the park opens up through the trees.
Union Park ATV Trail, makes for a great camping area if you want solitude. The even though Taylor Park appears to be remote, the area can get fairly crowded on holiday weekends. Even with Taylor Park full we didn't see anyone in Union Park.
