Pinedale Area Near Pinedale there are numerous trails to explore. The climb to Half Moon Mountain is for those who enjoy the feeling of not having enough oxygen in the brain. The view from the south ridge is worth the climb. The ridge can be ridden almost the total length and below the ridge is a sagebrush park that also runs the full length of the mountain. This parkland has many trails to ride.
Wildlife is a real possibility.
Cows and elk are noticeably different. One needs to know this or you will be a little embarrassed explaining why you shot some pictures of cows and calling them elk. Access to this ride is off the Pole Creek Road. Across from Half Moon is the Sweeney Creek and the Grouse Mountain Trails . Pure mountain biking pleasure for the short rides .
