Pilot Peak Lookout - High Winds

The road is not too bad getting up to the lookout and camping spot but I had to crawl through a few exposed rocks, washes and ruts. I made it in a 2wd old Chevy van. The wind on top of the hill was brutal around 8pm so I went back down the road a little ways to set up camp.
Not many people here in late June and it is pretty warm, in the mid 80's. This camping is easy to find, just follow the provided GPS coordinates.

Pilot Peak Lookout - Dispersed BLM

Bonneville Speedway Access Rd > Left on Leppy Pass Rd till you reach a strange mysterious government building > Right on Silver Island Loop Rd > veer right on Volcano West Rd

Dope spot on a bluff looking out at the entire valley, with Pilot Peak prominently featured. Plenty of space to maneuver and very level. Already some fire pits.

Watch the rocks on Volcano West rd as you approach the lookout - I made it with my 25 ft travel trailer, but be careful you don't bottom it out.

You can see for miles in every direction, but limited protection from wind. Wasn't too bad when I was there but I imagine it could be.

Super close to West Wendover and the salt flats. There's dozens of campsites in this area so definitely go exploring. While the roads are generally in good shape, some of have pretty bad wash boarding, especially when towing.

Some cell reception, great for Starlink obviously.
