Blythe Junction Railroad

Trail Overview

This trail is an old railroad route abandoned in 2011. It follows a smooth sandy path with sections of firm sandstone, making it manageable for most vehicles. Although the route parallels the former railbed, driving directly on the railbed is not recommended due to old railroad spikes that have caused flat tires and several washed-out bridges. The trail ends at a former gypsum loading depot where trucks once delivered material for transfer onto trains.
