M0770 Gas Pipeline Trail

Trail Overview

M0770 Gas Pipeline Trail offers a moderately narrow two-track experience that follows the path of a buried gas pipeline, contributing to its straight and consistent route. While there is no sign of recent grading, the trail is generally in good shape, presenting some dips and washouts where water crosses the road, along with sandy sections that can challenge your driving skills. As you navigate the trail, keep an eye out for lovely mature saguaro cacti lining the route, which adds to the beauty of the landscape. You might also spot some cattle along your journey, though this trail isn't classified as open range. A nice dispersed camping spot along the way accommodates medium-sized groups, making it an excellent choice for overnight excursions. The real fun begins as you tackle the rolling hills and soft sandy wash crossings. These hill climbs and descents provide moments of excitement, especially as they can be long, loose, and rutted, indicating that careful line choice and articulation are essential for a successful drive. Important Note: Cellular service along M0770 varies, typically offering one to two bars of Verizon LTE that may fade in and out as you travel. Before embarking on your adventure, be sure to obtain your Arizona State Land Trust permit, as required for trails in this region. Also, come prepared for desert conditions by bringing sufficient water and supplies to enhance your experience.
