Wilkins Peak is a small mountain located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, between the cities of Green River and Rock Springs.
There are numerous access roads to the peak and it is not gated and open year-round, weather permitting.
[11] In September 2003, a commercial truck delivering propane to customers on the peak knocked down the then-existent KUWZ tower after the vehicle's brakes failed.
The mountain can also be accessed via another unpaved road that begins in the Scott's Bottom Nature Area in Green River, Wyoming.
There are many smaller roads and trails that spring from the peak that offer varied degrees of challenge.
[14][15] The Sweetwater Mountain Bike Association, a committee of the City of Green River Chamber of Commerce and in partnership with the BLM, U.S. Forest Service and Rock Springs Grazing Association has sanctioned the mountain biking trail system known as the Wilkins Peak Trail System, currently a group of single track trails encompassing just over 24 miles located on land directly west of Wilkins Peak.
Accessed primarily from the Green River area these trails offer a mix of varying difficulty levels for every rider.
Current trail maps can be obtained for free at the Green River Chamber of Commerce at the Visitor Center.
