This is a lift accessible trail and as such will have more frequent downhill travel.

Description

Pioneer shares some of its alignment with Swinger. It is the easiest descent from the top of Peak 8, starting at the Vista Haus and ending at the Peak 8 base area.
The trail is also the easiest route up the front side of Peak 8.
