Broken Antler Trail

About

Broken Antler Trail is a 1.2-mile loop located in the Buzzard Gulch Trails system within the Dry Creek Recreation Area, just west of Montrose, Colorado. The trail sits on the Colorado Plateau at an elevation between 6,437 and 6,682 feet. It is managed by the BLM Uncompahgre Field Office and is classified as an easy hike, though the surface includes rocky sections that may raise the difficulty for mountain bikers to a moderate level. The route begins near the Rusty Buckets trail and winds through sagebrush flats and a pinion-juniper forest. The trail connects to the Buzzard Gulch and Dakota Rim trails, offering access to overlooks above Spring Creek Canyon. The surface is primarily hard-packed dirt and ground. Parking is available at the trailhead. The trail is open to hiking, biking, horses, and dogs. It is accessible year-round, though conditions vary with weather.
