About
The Buzzard Gulch Trail is a 2.36-mile point-to-point route located just west of Montrose, Colorado. Classified as easy with an elevation between 6,200 and 6,800 feet, the trail typically takes about one hour to complete. The surface alternates between rocky and sandy terrain within a classic canyon country landscape. Sparse pinyon, juniper, and big sagebrush provide limited shade along the path.

The route is open year-round and supports non-motorized use, including hiking, mountain biking, trail running, and horseback riding.
