Overview

52 plus miles of dirt and you can avoid I-10, what more could you want? El Paso Pipeline Road plays a major part in building area offroad trips for the day, the weekend, or even longer routes connecting the Phoenix Valley and the Salton Sea. Beautiful desert landscapes filled with washes and jagged peaks are interrupted by pipeline markers and powerlines, but that should not stop you from wanting to use this road. Impressive views of the Eagletail Mountains Wilderness Area, including the mysterious-looking Courthouse Rock, greet you at either the beginning or the end of the trail depending on which direction you choose to drive it. Once you train your eyes to look past the utilities, you find all the opportunities for overland adventure that is abundant directly from this road. Tip: Up above, increase the "Nearby Trails" tab view to 35 miles to see the route potentials you can explore!
