Trail Overview
The Pipeline Center trail is a clear-cut through this section of the Kaibab National Forest. This trail can be run on its own, with all of the sections as one trail, or as an access point to access better and more interesting sections of this spectacular forest. Rocky, with hills and wash crossings, this trail is a fun warmup to finding a bigger better shade of the Ponderosa Pines deeper in the forest. There are cattle present, as well as deer and antelope, but I doubt you'll be speeding along so fast as to miss them. There are no major obstacles on this trail, but also no cell service either, so offline maps are recommended.
