Pioneer Bridle Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up

Pioneer Bridle Trailhead can be used to access the Pioneer Bridle Trail, which is a major mountain bike route. However, most recreators park at Glacier View Trailhead (3,600’) to access this trail.

Pioneer Bridle Trail descends most of its length to Tollgate Trailhead (1,800’) and connects the towns of Government Camp and Rhododendron.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
