The name "Hulls Gulch" comes from the ephemeral creek that runs from higher up in the foothills through the middle of this property. The reserve is home to two trail heads (Grove and Lower Hulls Gulch) that are the starting point to some of the 130 miles of Ridge to Rivers trails in the Boise Foothills. Hikers, mountain bikers, dog walkers, runners and horseback riders enjoy the trails in this area. Common wildlife seen throughout the year in Hulls Gulch include: Great Horned Owls, Kestrel, Coyotes, Mule Deer, and Red Fox.
