Trail: Pyramid Butte

Trail #: 740

Submitted by: Rob Williams

Trail Conditions

I was surprised to see an official sign at the two junctions to this trail (north of the butte and south of the butte). It used to be you had to take an un-signed trail (the old Skyline trail route) over to the Pyramid Butte trail - now there is a sign at both junctions. The route from the north has has pretty significant fire damage and is very difficult to follow in places. If you take the south junction, it is a lot easier to follow since that segment has not burned. From the junction with the old Skyline trail to the top of the butte, much of the trail is not too difficult to follow if you pay attention, but there are a few areas it is very faint. There is still a small bit of unburned area on top of the butte, but at this point, most of it has burned. Views weren't great today, but on a clear day, the views are pretty amazing.
