Poplar Gulch Trailhead is just outside the old ghost town of St Elmo at the bottom of Tincup pass.  If You dont have a 4-wheel and high clearance vehicle, You can park in town and hike up to the trailhead

At the bottom of Tincup pass is the poplar Gulch Trailhead . This 5 mile trail goes up and over a large ridge and drops into Green timber Gulch on the south cottonwood side. Open to hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and motorcycles too . We have not hiked this trail But From what I read , It will get rough in places But the view up top in the apine tundra is GREAT! starts at 10,000 feet and goes up to 12,250 feet

Marma and I brought a cache container to hide around the ghost town of Tincup but ended up placing it here at bottom of Tincup pass on St Elmo side.

Marma and I went up over Tincup pass in my 1991 Chevy pickup ,Other than the tailpipe falling off the day before the trail was AWSOME.

Our 7th cache of the day. Enjoyed our visit to St. Elmo this afternoon. This may perhaps be the most vibrant ghost town in the world, at least by the number of people here during our visit. After touring the town, we wandered up to this trailhead for the quick find. Interesting container. Many thanks.
