Trail Overview

Wilson Creek Summit features includes a radio tower and beautiful mountain views. Some rock crawling, very technical trail, but deceptively intermediate. Some easy sections, would recommend spotter. Front and rear Lockers recommended. Rutty and very undulating terrain. Great trail for testing your vehicles capabilities, super fun. BLM managed.

Status Reports

We went up the north side down the south side of the trail. Exposed rocks were pretty dug out, several 18”+ drops. Had to choose lines carefully in the sidekick but made it down without issues. We probably wouldn’t have made it up the other direction without at minimum a rear locker. I’d say 5 is a pretty true rating compared to other similar trails.

Perfect soil conditions, no snow or mud, slightly tacky surface crust. Hit a couple bonus lines this round which are fun but require at least one locker. Take a second vehicle, use a spotter, and watch your tire placement, that is key on this trail. Bad tire placement could land you on your lid very easily. Extremely windy at summit, 30mph+ constant wind velocity.

super fun trail, some very steep, rocky, deeply rutted climbs, a few very off camber sections where a spotter would be nice, really pay attention or you could end up on your side. 35" tires or larger and dual lockers strongly recommend. ran the trail clockwise, went left before the cattle yard.

Little snowy and muddy
