Bear Pen Gulch Trail (FR124)

Dogs Off-leash

E-Bikes Allowed

This is a motorized trail. It can be used as a leg for several different loops that include the Tabeguache Trail and South Bear Pen Gulch.

The lower access point takes off from FR 501 just about a mile from the Love Mesa Road (FR 600). Initially starts in a clearing where there are places to park. Follow obvious wide trail as it travels along the creek that goes up Bear Pen Gulch.

Just before mile 1.5, the trail intersects with the South Bear Pen Gulch singletrack. Bear right and continue to steadily climb, passing several open areas that are small wetlands/shallow ponds. The trail passes through a mixed stand of aspen and conifers. At about mile 3, the trail passes through a large meadow. Make a hard right at the south end of the meadow, then climb steeply to the Love Mesa Road.
