Hefferman Gulch is a short out-and-back trail that provides access to the South Chicago Creek Trail. At the start of the trail, you’re greeted with a large designated camping area. This is the only area where camping is allowed along Hefferman Gulch. The campsites are suited for tent camping as it’s surrounded by large boulders, which forces you to park and offload your camping gear. The rest of the trail is easy and suited for all vehicles. As you drive along Hefferman Gulch, you almost teleport back in time as you drive past a dozen rustic cabins nestled amongst the pine and aspen trees of the Arapaho National Forest.
