Description

This is an old two-track that is the current (approved) way to access the newly-opened Pilot Hill property and to connect to the USFS Pole Mountain unit (FS road 703) which leads to Happy Jack and Vedauwoo.

The two-track features many exposed limestone bedrock crossings. The trail offers stunning, expansive views (going down).

Presently, there are no trail markings, so just follow the two-track up. This is exposed to the prevailing wind (usually from the west), so plan on a jacket on the downhill. Better (design-built) trails will be rolled out in the next few years.
