Pyramid Pk

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain	USFS Trail #
More Difficult	0.2 Miles One-way	556 est.	755	1160

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

Pyramid Peak is an old lookout site that was used until 1968.

This moderate 0.7 mile hike or horseback ride begins at 4,960 feet at the Pacific Crest Trail and travels south for one mile to a junction to the Pyramid Peak Trail. Head east and climb up to Pyramid Peak at 5,715 feet. The trail is primitive and can be hard to find at times.
