About This Trail
The Kruse State Natural Reserve is a great place to find flowers. The Chinese Gulch trail leads to thePhillips Gulch trail for the return. If you stay on the main trail, you can follow the road back to the parking area. The parking lot is close to the highway. There is parking for a few cars. There are restrooms available, but they are not always obvious. All the flowers are beautiful.
