March Hikes - Mill Creek Pipeline

The third week of March provided us with a bit of a warm spell - so we took advantage of it and did some hiking.

The trail itself is a good place to get some exercise. Rattlesnake Gulch is a small (quarter or half mile-ish?) gulch that leads to the Mill Creek pipeline trail. It is moderately steep as it ascends a few hundred feet to the pipeline trail. The Mill Creek pipeline trail extends from the Elbow Fork trailhead parallel with the road all the way to a nice overlook. There are a number of small trails that give access to the pipeline - making for a ton of variations in distance along the route.


These are some photos from Rattlesnake Gulch and the Mill Creek Pipeline.



As you can see - our trail was clear but some of the others had some snow. ;)



The view from the overlook on the Pipeline isn't so bad:




We hiked the same trail a few times that week....we even brought our friend Renee out.
