Tucked away on a quiet mountainside between Beaver Creek and Arrowhead, Colorado in the majestic Rocky Mountains is Bachelor Gulch, a village aptly named for its original settlers - seven pioneering, single men who came in search of wealth and a better life.
Early life in Bachelor Gulch was challenging, as the fledgling community strove to survive through the hardships of logging and raising cattle. The area enjoyed a brief heyday with its lettuce crops in the early 1900s, but the Great Depression proved to be too much for the bachelors. The area lay dormant until 1980s when the development of Beaver Creek and the creation of the village-to-village ski experience gave the area new life.
Today, Bachelor Gulch is the centerpiece of Beaver Creek's village-to-village ski experience. More intimate and removed than its Beaver Creek or Arrowhead neighbors, Bachelor Gulch provides guests with family ski resorts that also offer privacy, seclusion and a unique blend of authentic Rocky Mountain luxury.
