Situated on the edge of a picturesque meadow with scattered aspen trees, this campground offers a stunning display of fall colors when the leaves change. Once a Forest Service Ranger Station, remnants of the old structures can still be seen in the area.

Pierce Mountain stands at an elevation of 8,660 feet in a dense forest area, accessible via a maintained dirt trail. While not considered a significant summit, the area is peaceful and makes for a pleasant stop on the journey.

There are a bunch of singletrack trails crossing the gravel forest road here. You can keep on the service road if you want to go fast, but if you want fun, flowy singletrack trails, then turn onto of the side trails. There aren't a ton of hills here, so you aren't signing up for anything you'll regret if you turn off of the road.
