Pickett Peak Road 31053

Trail Overview

Pickett Peak Road entrance is marked with USFS number 31053. The gradual accent is typically one vehicle wide with places to pass on this double track dirt trail. This first 2.5 mile portion of the trail ascends from an elevation of 7,800 feet to 8,500 feet. The trail descends and then climbs to the trails highest point of 8700 feet. This climb is the steepest and most technical part of the trail. This slightly steeper section of the trail winds tightly between pine trees. Which will present long wheel base vehicles (Jeep Gladiator size) a challenge. There are a couple of small seasonal stream crossings with a water depth of 6 inches or less. This double track trail is suited for off highway and 4WD high clearance vehicles. Not recommended for 2WD or 4WD cars.
