Pilot Peak Lookout

Ride Summary:
This ride has some fairly steep climbing but the view of the Boise Headwaters and the Sawtooth Mountains is worth it.

Trail Description:
To start, cross Idaho 21 and head up the jeep trail to Pilot Peak. The first two miles are steep and steady. Around mile three the road begins to flatten out a bit. There is a saddle junction at 3.25 miles. take the right road and spin up to the lookout. When you reach the top, kick back ,have a snack and enjoy the view. To leave, turn around and head back the way you came, but be prepared to lose a few fillings on the rough ride down.

How to get there:
Take Idaho 21 from Boise, east, through Idaho City to Mores Creek Summit. Park in the large lot on the right side of the pass.
