Trails and Gulches of Idaho Springs

So I'm starting to hit the trails around Idaho Springs, an annual ritual it seems. Yesterday I went up Trail Creek Road (Clear Creek County Road 136) by the Phoenix Mine. Today, I'll try Spring Gulch Road (Clear Creek County Road 130). Still a lot of snow, ice, and mud. I'm just trying to reconnect the roads/trails in my mind. When it gets bad, I turn around. Also, I have to meet Jen for lunch in Morrison at 1:00 pm.

Update: Today, I hit the following roads:

• Spring Gulch Road (Clear Creek County Road 130)


• Ute Creek Road (Clear Creek County Road 118)


• Cascade Creek Road (Clear Creek County Road 116)

First, I hit Spring Gulch Road (130). In theory, this connects with Trail Creek Road (136), but I turned back as it was to snowy/muddy. But I talked to some people, and they said that it does connect with Trail Creek Road (136), but I'm thinking I will try it again when it dries up a bit.

On Ute Creek Road (118), I rode up it for a distance, but didn't really feel like it went very far. I must have missed the connection going south down to Cascade Creek Road (116).

I made it up Cascade Creek Road (116) only a short distance, as it was still snowy and muddy.
