Wildspaces July will be our first true back country location.

Located within the White River National Forest, this site can be accessed via the Williams Peak Road 4x4 trail. This trail is considered an “Easy 2/10” by onxOffroad. However, the trail is rocky and rutted in places, especially prior to the main gate about 1 mile in. I would recommend at least using a stock 4x4 vehicle for this road. Toyota FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, 4Runner or something similar will be fine. Subaru Drivers with limited clearance will have issues in some sections of this road. Would recommend a spotter and a radio to contact others if attempting with a low clearance vehicle. I would say it’s possible, but damage to your car may occur. The road up to the ridge climbs 2,200 feet up from the valley.

This site is absolutely gorgeous. But, it’s also fairly exposed to incoming weather patters to the west. I would expect wind and rain, and cooler temperatures up above 10,000 feet. Attendees should plan on bringing long sleeves and pants, warm clothing, rain gear, good shelter, food, water, and their own back country toilets.

There are also mosquitos in the area especially closer to the treelines. Bring long sleeves, bug repellent and any other means you might have to fight off the little jerks.

There is cell signal at the top of the ridge, both LTE and 5G.

This site is at least 70 minutes from Silverthorn, so please plan accordingly.

For EV drivers, I would highly recommend charging to 80% or more in Silverthorn before making the trip. I used roughly 10% of my pack charge on a 2022 R1T Quad getting up to the ridge on the trail.
