Trail Overview

This 5.8-mile point-to-point trail takes you along a natural gas line and is the most challenging trail in the area. The first section is a twisty moderate climb from Bill Gray Road to the start of the pipeline trail. The pipeline section crosses 4 gulches, two shallow and two deep. The second deep gulch is the most difficult on this trail, with optional lines rated 6-7, and will challenge even the most experienced off-roader. Once past the 4th gulch, the remainder of the trail is an easy drive back to Bill Gray Road.
