Bunker Hill is the OHV trail that runs east of Hurricane through low desert ridges, and the surface reflects what side-by-side traffic does to dirt. Mountain bike use here is incidental — riders sometimes use the trail as a connector or as a short loop when the JEM-side network is crowded — but the trail is not built or maintained for bikes. The riding is rough, dusty, and shared with motorized traffic.
Why a bike rider would come here
Almost no bike rider chooses Bunker Hill as a primary trail. The reason it appears on bike maps at all is that it functions as a long connector between the Hurricane city limits and the eastern OHV recreation zones, and a bike rider on a touring or bikepacking trip might use it to get from one place to another. Day-ride bike use is rare.
What the surface delivers
The trail bed is wide, packed dirt that ribbed into short washboard from sustained OHV traffic. Bikes ride it the way you ride a forest road — steadily, without expecting flow, watching for vehicles. Tire pressure matters less here than on slickrock; what matters is being visible to the side-by-sides coming from either direction.
Where Bunker Hill sits in the 435
Bunker Hill is included on this site for entity-graph completeness because it shows up on Trailforks and gets occasional bike-related searches. It is not a recommended ride. Visitors planning a Hurricane bike day should head to JEM, Gooseberry, Guacamole, or Wire Mesa instead.
