OSM Way
Short Pipe is either a way to get off Bob's Trail early, or the natural conclusion of a climb up Dogma. It's primarily a climbing trail and has moderate shade from the forest.
If exiting Bob's Trail, be ready for a hard left just before this Bob's sign (but otherwise unmarked) intersection). If continuing your climb from Dogma, just continue straight when you get to this unmarked intersection. There are no significant challenges on this trail and it will drop you off on Rd 1000.
