Description
The Gulch is formed in Douglas County, Colorado, 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Denver, approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Parker, and 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Hilltop.
The Gulch flows west through eastern Douglas County, and discharges into Cherry Creek in Bar CCC Park. The Gulch is dry during the summer unless there is heavy rain; it is full during spring after snow melt. The Gulch has flooded several times.
Recreational Opportunities
There are trails along the Gulch.[2]
gollark: It's not actually going to be *used* for anything outside of a hypothetical genetic-algorithms reactor optimizer.
gollark: Tin coolers probably not because I can't be bothered.
gollark: Moderators are on the todo list.
gollark: If you ignore fiddly stuff like actually being tested, having any UI, handling moderator blocks, handling cell efficiencies above 100% and tin coolers (evil things), my simulator might work.
gollark: Ah, cool.
