A pleasant, steady uphill climb on the southwestern side of the canyon that leads to James Peak and Powder Mountain Ski Area.
| Description:
Wolf Canyon Trail is a moderate, but steady uphill climb through groves of oak, maple, aspen, and fir. The southern exposure makes this a good pathway for spring or fall.
This trail follows a public easement through private property, so be sure to stay on the route.
| Trailhead location:
The trail begins on the north side of Powder Mountain Road (State Route 158), at mile 8.2; just past the gates used to close the road. The trail begins behind the gate.
| Trail history:
This pathway leads to the controversial 160-acre parcel once owned by Rulon Jones, former linebacker for the Denver Broncos. It is now back in public ownership, thanks to a group of residents of Ogden Valley who sued the County and took the case all the way to the Utah Supreme Court where they prevailed.
