 | Stakeout Trail System, upper trails, climbing route to Buffalo Peak
Located in the cooler glens just east of the Wasatch scarp of Squaw Peak, the Stakeout Trail System provides a singletrack route for climbing and descending. They're a nice out-and-back, or a climbing route to the Squaw Peak DH system , rising from 5300 to 7700 feet elevation. The trails are unmarked. From the road, they're often impossible to see, even if you know exactly where they are. A good map and GPS navigation is recommended. If you don't have a friend who knows the area and will give you the guided tour. |
