Description

This is an old two-track that is the current (approved) way to access the newly-opened Pilot Hill property and to connect to the USFS Pole Mountain unit (FS Road 703) which leads to Happy Jack and Vedauwoo.

The two-track features many exposed limestone bedrock crossings. The trail offers stunning, expansive views (going down). However, make sure your cavity fillings are securely in place on the downhill (especially if you are on a hardtail bike).

Presently, there are no trail markings, so just follow the two-track up. This is exposed to the prevailing wind (usually from the west), so plan on a jacket on the downhill. Better (design-built) trails will be rolled out in the next few years.
