Pipeline Trail

Pipeline Trail is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Toro Regional Park, on county land in California. The trail is just over 0.2 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 63 feet, and it sits at a low point of 327 feet with a high of 356 feet. The climb is flat, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.05 miles in, with a grade of about 4 percent. The most comfortable months for a ride are late summer and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Salinas show September highs around 75°F with lows near 52°F and only about one wet day in the month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The trail makes an easy pairing with the Cougar Ridge Trail, about 0.2 miles away, and the East Toyon Trail, Bessie Canyon Trail and Deer Trail are each about half a mile off.
