5 Gallon is one of the longer trails in Moore and built by the builders that laid trail from one rock garden to the next. It is the easiest climb up to the shelf at Linda's and a nice decent as well. While the trail was being built a large bum camp was found with a 5 gallon bucket used as a toilet. It was filled to the brim. This is where the trail got its name.
