Wickiup Butte Trail

Trail Overview

The trail to Wickiup Butte starts with washboard roads, so you might as well air down from the start. Once you are on the dirt it is a pretty mellow somewhat up-and-down forest road that will lead you to the summit base. If you have been lulled into a passive mood, the beginning of the summit will continue this attitude. The deception will quickly be realized as the incline and terrain become hostile. Speed and aggression are the best ways to handle this opposition, as it is short-lived but definitely challenging. Four-wheel low and rear axle lockers are your best allies as you conquer this summit. It flattens out to a lookout point on the left side of the false summit. A small trail leads forward to the actual peak. It is at the summit you will see a lone tree holding its ground in the center of a small turnaround. You have arrived. Add another notch to your conquest belt, the top of Wickiup Butte, set up camp, and enjoy the sunrise. Push Forward.
