Gravel Pit Trail is a short cross-country ski route in the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is an out-and-back of about 1.3 miles, with a low point of about 10,281 feet and a high of about 10,401 feet. That makes it a small climb of about 114 feet, easy to pair with other nearby routes. The trail sits close to several other ski options, and the Service Road 488 and the Sandia Xc Ski Loop (15) (Groomed) are both about 0.1 mile away. Climbers can reach the Yucca Flower Tower and Bush Shark Area within about half a mile.
