Winter & Spring: If the approach roads are plowed and the avalanche conditions stable, a hike to the summit of Pearl Peak could be a pleasant outing. Be prepared for roaring winds from the west on the summit.
The approach routes aren't plowed in winter and you must walk from Highway 24. Most people approach the peak in winter from the Jackal Hut, near point 11,716.
I winter and spring, you can come in from the Camp Hale or South Camp Hale Trailheads, but if the snow bridges are melted out, there is not a bridge from South Camp Hale Trailhead.
