Dugout Gulch

Dugout Gulch is a well-marked botanical trail near Beulah, Wyoming, and a must-visit hike for wildflower viewing in the spring and summer. The first two miles follow a peaceful creek through dense forest, creating a lush, rainforest-like feel. As the trail transitions into a loop, it opens into classic Black Hills pine forest with gently rolling single-track terrain. Popular with both hikers and mountain bikers, Dugout Gulch offers scenic variety without steep climbs. Cell service is limited along most of the trail, so plan accordingly.
