I have a loop I do from home which has a lot of climbing and some dirt sections with sand and loose rocks. I've been doing it on my Gunnar which has similar geometry to a cross bike. A gravel bike would be great for that.

I love riding dirt roads on my gravel bike, not so much on the drop bar MTB pictured above. Those 3" wide tires are great on the trails, but a pain on smooth hardpack.
