Trail Overview
BLM Route 174 is primarily a pipeline access trail that runs from 21 Road to 16 Road. It can be used as a connector between these two points, however, not many opportunities exist for camping, parking, or OHV access along this route. It begins immediately North of a natural gas refinery area, and runs East-West through several moderate washes, with some fairly steep ascents/descents. Camping is primarily only available within the 18 Road general area of the North Fruita Desert Area. Continuing West past 18 Road you will encounter a brief rocky hill to climb before continuing on mostly dirt road. This route passes briefly through private lands, where you will encounter a BLM gate at mile 8. Continuing past this point you will be on a much wider dirt/gravel road following the power line out to 16 Road. Stick only to the previously disturbed track. Pack out what you pack in.
