The Mayflower Gulch Trail is a popular year-round backcountry trail located near Leadville along the western end of the Ten Mile Range. The two-mile trail meanders under the shadow of the 13,951-foot peak Fletcher Mountain, increasing in elevation throughout its route from 10,990 to 12,000 feet in elevation along a former Boston Mining Company route. The first mile of the route showcases beautiful wetland wildflowers throughout a spacious meadow before passing the remains of a former mining cabin and ore loading chute near Gold Hill. At the summit of Gold Hill, hikers can catch glimpses of the nearby Clinton Creek watershed and Kokomo mining settlement. In all, the hike takes approximately two hours to complete.
