Bloomfield Pal Tour

Trail Overview

This is mostly an oil well and natural gas line access road that is also used as a trail. It winds through a flat desert terrain, on primitive roads that have shallow ruts and overgrown bushes, and lots of intersections. Portions of the trail are on full-width oil well roads in between the more trail-like sections. You'll ride past several active oil wells. It also crosses State Roads 173 and 575, so be cautious when crossing these busy paved roads. Some sections are narrower and sandy in more of a wash, with dips into wash crossings. There's a small climb in the west half that goes up between some dirt bluffs onto a main road. It ends at State Highway 550, which you can cross and continue onto a segment of wash trail.
