The Horseshoe Gulch trail is an old doubletrack that is continuing to narrow down to singletrack that connects between the Colorado Trail and Soda Creek. It's a pretty mild trail, with some climbing.
The Horseshoe Gulch Trail near Breckenridge connects Co Rd 6 to Keystone Ranch Road. It goes north from a car park on Co Rd 6 and crosses the Colorado Trail after about half a mile and continues to climb a total of 300 feet to reach almost 10,000 feet before descending about 400 feet. It's an historic trail that takes the path of least resistance across the range - it goes up through a gulch! It has no charm as a mountain bike trail and is quite steep in places. Only the very strong will avoid a bit of pushing.

Thank |Not all that great on its own, but it does provide a crucial connector between two other good trails.
