This trail is seasonally closed from 12/1 - 4/15 to protect deer and elk during calving season

Pipeline begins at the parking lot at the top of 4th of July Road. It is basically a straight shot south from the parking lot, on a mostly straight, undulating trail. This first 2.5 miles are in an open valley where many birds and deer can be seen.

The fun really begins about 2.5 miles up the trail when you are at the true 'pipeline' section. Here the singletrack becomes a bit more challenging (but still advanced-beginner level). It runs along a little creek and in a narrow cut so you are surrounded by trees and greenery. In the fall, this hike is spectacular due to the wealth of aspen trees lining the trail.

Aspen trees! Deer, bear, and birds.
