Description
This trail branches off West Mountain Road at the unsigned junction on AD19. Though there isn't a single sign all the way to North Adams, it's easy enough to follow with the pipeline tubes. When the trail reaches the powerlines, it crosses to the opposite side, following the main tread. The trail climbs back up to the powerlines and follows them north, for a short distance. From here, there are multiple roads that could be the actual snowmobile trail. Without any signs or a decent map, it's impossible to know which road is the proper route. The Pipeline Trail ends when it reaches West Mountain Road Trail.
