History:
Description:
Starting from the south end off of County Road 224 the road will climb up a small ridge toward the saddle between Wolford Mountain and Little Wolford Mountain. At the top on the saddle you will make a right turn and then a sharp hairpin turn to the left. At the hairpin there will be a road to the right which is Little Wolford Mountain, BLM29532. After making the hairpin turn you will come to an intersection with a road on the left that is gated. This road goes to the top of Wolford Mountain and a communication tower. It can be hiked or mountain biked. In front of the gate is a motorcycle trail that goes to the left back down to County Road 224, and also down the gulch on the right side of the road. Stay right and the road will make a large curve and start to head down the northwest side of the saddle.

Stay right and the road will head into some trees for a short distance. After coming out of the trees you will have a partial view of the reservoir. Looking down at the reservoir photo by: Adam M Continue down hill and you will pass a road on the right that goes over to Wolford Mountain Reservoir, BLM29531. Stay left going down hill. As the road levels out a bit you will pass a spur road on the left that goes to a campsite. Continue down hill and you will come to a four way intersection. The road to the left and right here is Wolford Mountain Reservoir, BLM29531. Cross this intersection going straight and the road will cross a wide flat plain. After a bit you will drop down into a gully. Just after crossing the gully you will pass a motorcyle trail on the right. The road will continue up onto another wide open area. After crossing this area you will come to an intersection with a road on the right that heads back toward the mountains. This is BLM29530.1, which only goes a short distance to end at a small drainage. Stay left and you will come around a small bluff on your right before intersecting with the Wolford Mountain Reservoir road again. A left here will take you to the reservoir, a right will take you to the Antelope Pass, CR25, road.
