Trail Overview

This trail ascends all the way to Pilot Peak lookout tower at 8,090 Ft in elevation. This trail is rocky and rough with snow banks and downed trees still present in mid-June. Most of the trail is one lane where you want to take note of slightly wider points to reverse to if you incur oncoming traffic. The trail is steep and low range is recommended. The trail takes you nearly 2,000 feet above the starting point on Highway 21. There are great camping spots along the route and once you reach the turnoff to the Pilot Peak there are other forest roads that take you further to other remote camp areas.

Made it about 1000ft from the saddle then ran into deep snow. Continued on towards the fire tower and ended up not making it the whole way. If you’re good at snow wheeling you’ll be fine

Road is narrow and rocky in places, but well traveled. Easy on a dual sport bike. Great views from the top this day.

Patches of deep snow still present in the shade. Only footprints through the snow above the .5 mile point or so.
