Known locally as part of the Wilson Peak Loop, Pigeon Road wraps around the east and south sides of Wilson Peak. The road starts and ends at Wilson Creek Road, and is a scenic drive that rewards adventurers with fantastic views overlooking the charming community of Wilson and the rugged beauty of the Owyhee Mountain Range. You can kick off your journey from either the north or south trailhead, but be prepared—about 4 miles of this route are marked "Motorized Travel Not Recommended." This stretch is thrilling, featuring heavily eroded sections, washed-out roadbeds, and sizable boulders demanding careful tire placement to avoid steep drop-offs. High clearance and 4WD are essential, and a locking differential will make tackling the trickiest parts a little easier. While you won't find any official campsites, numerous spur roads branch off to secluded areas that could make for perfect dispersed camping spots.
