The Pabco Cutover

Trail Overview

The Pabco Cutover is an adventurous route that travels across the northern side of the Pabco mining and drywall complex, offering a unique glimpse into the region's industrial landscape. This trail crosses over railroad tracks and runs alongside them for much of its length, adding an interesting dimension to your excursion. As you navigate The Pabco Cutover, you'll encounter frequent short loose hill climbs and numerous washouts and ruts that demand careful navigation. Some areas may have alternative braided paths to get around particularly troublesome sections, requiring attentiveness and skill to maintain a smooth ride.
