The road from Speculator was not well marked, with many logging roads jutting into the wilderness that were not on the map. However, we were impressed with the state of the dirt road until we passed "Perkins' Clearning." At that point, we nudged our way over ruts and boulders until finally finding the parking area.
Pillsbury Mountain was short and steep. There were few spots to catch your breath, but we found ourselves at the top within an hour. We climbed the fire tower for the view (without it, there wouldn't be one...) and took pictures before eating our lunch on top.
The trip back to the car was easy, and we packed out happy to have had a great hike on a nice August day.
