Whitetail Peak South

Trail Overview

White Tail Peak South is the calm before (or after) the chaos -- a smoother, more flowy section that winds through the lower forest with well-maintained tread and mellow grades. It still carries that remote feel, but it's almost relaxing compared to the northern portion. Long sweeping curves, gentle climbs, and packed gravel sections make it approachable for most rigs. The contrast is wild -- you'll go from axle-snapping mud up top to this forest cruise that almost feels like it was built for scenery. Ideal as a warm-up or cool-down if you're linking into the more challenging northern route. A few pull-offs could serve as dispersed camp zones, especially where the trail widens in shaded glades. Good sign of deer and turkey in the area, and you'll get brief views of the surrounding ridges if you're watching for them. Still remote, still wild -- but a friendly reminder that not every mile has to fight back. Pack in, pack out, leave no trace, and tread lightly.
