PIONEER TRAIL DESCRIPTION
Pioneer Trail starts at the 2750N Mountain Road trailhead (also known at the gravel pit). Go up the gravel road from the trailhead.
Approximately 100 yards up the road will veer left. Follow this as it continues uphill for another .2 miles to another junction. Turn right and continue up the road. This trail stays down in the canyon for about another 1.4 miles. At this point you will see a single track trail to the right. Follow this for about another .75 miles through the trees until you get to the North Ogden Divide Trailhead.
Total round trip mileage is about 5 miles with just shy of 1500' of gain. Note that the "road" is very rocky and loose.
PIONEER TRAIL LOCATION
