Stuck Gully Map

This is a more direct, though less fun, way back to the car from the Forest Lakes and Arapaho Lakes zones. From the bridge on the skintrack, follow the obvious gully as it brings you over mandatory rock drops. As you get further down, you'll want to stick skier's right to avoid getting stuck (the namesake of the route). Eventually, you'll pop out at the end of the South Boulder Creek Trail.
