Wilson River Wagon Road Loop Trail Family Hike

9 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •

My son likes to keep our family hikes to about 8 miles maximum, but I goofed. I remember this being a short easy loop with little elevation gain, but he didn't quite feel that way! I think the distance signs are wrong for this loop but they weren't that far off. Although there were plenty of dirt bikes and off road vehicles, it wasn't too bad for the most part. A couple of areas were just fumed out with their exhaust, and the lack of mufflers can be annoying. This is definitely a better winter hike in the snow. Still, we had a good time and were out away from the city and in the forest!

Oh, there's a new bridge over the Devils Lake Fork of the Wilson River, and it's a beauty! I'll put up some pictures after I enter all my weekend hikes!
