Weldon Wagon Road Trail Description

The Weldon Wagon Road Trail might not lead to an epic mountain vista, but it’s an enjoyable hike nonetheless. With a solid workout and plenty to see during wildflower season, it’s a nice pick when the other trails in the area are likely to be crowded.

This hike ends at a section of private property. Please don’t continue any further from the end of the trail. Additionally, it can be hot on summer days due to the lack of shade. Bring sunscreen and lots of water if you’re here on a sunny day.

The hike begins from the trailhead next to the road. It’s pretty much straight up for the whole way there, and while the elevation gain isn’t brutal, it’s consistent. Take breaks in the middle to enjoy the views. When you reach the end of the route, turn back and retrace your steps to the trailhead.
