1: Pipeline & Moores Gulch Rd. (0.4mi)

At this intersection you'll turn south onto Pipeline Trail. Moores Gulch Rd. continues east to an underpass with I-17 and then the northern portion of Pipeline trail.

If your heading north on Pipeline make a left onto Moores Gulch to head towards TMRA 9999 Trail.

2: North Hill (0.4mi)

This is a non-technical moderately steep hill. Most important to note is the pressure release valve for the gas pipeline that you'll want to avoid as damaging it could cause a gas leak. You can also get a nice view of the southern portion of Moores Gulch at the top of this hill.

3: 9991 Intersection (0.7mi)

Continue straight to stay on Pipeline Trail. The trail to the west is TMRA 9991 Trail, however parts of it are designated for vehicles 60" or less in width.

4: Rutted Road (0.9mi)

These ruts are on the side of the road, so they are an optional obstacle you can play in if you like.

5: Rutted hill (1.0mi)

This rutted hill isn't too difficult if you choose your path carefully, or you can make it more difficult by driving in the ruts.

6: Hill Top (1.2mi)

This is the top of the big fun hill just to the south. There are four paths you can take to get down (or up). Straight ahead, as you head for the shortest path down the hill, is the most challenging part of the Pipeline Trail with large steps and loose dirt on the left, and a less challenging but still technical option on the right. To the west is the easiest but longest way, and to the east is a moderately steep, loose dirt, but relatively smooth option.

7: Hill Bottom (1.4mi)

From the bottom of the hill you can see more clearly the challenges of the hill and each option to take back up to the top.

8: 9993 Iintersection (1.5mi)

Pipeline trail continues straight south from here, but is closed beyond this section, so you need to turn east onto TMRA 9993 Trail to head back out to TMRA 9999 Trail. See "Access Issues" below for more details about the closure.

9: 9993 & 9999 Intersection (1.9mi)

This is the southern access trail to Pipeline Trail within the BLM's Table Mesa Recreation Area. Last time I was here, it appeared to be miss-labeled as 9992 which is the designated trail number for Pipeline Trail, but doesn't match with the BLM's map that labels it as 9993.
