Every day, we highlight one of Okemo's 127 trails. Today's trail is* #### [Upper Wild Thing](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/upper-wild-thing) ![Upper Wild Thing](https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Upper%20Wild%20Thing.jpeg) For entertainment on the [Southface Express Quad](https://www.okemozone.com/lifts/south-face-express-quad), nothing beats watching people on Upper Wild Thing. The trail is narrow, rocky, steep (both up and down!) and nestled between snow-capped evergreens. It's a fun challenge though, especially if you don't mind being judged from above. The last knoll requires getting some speed to make it up the last section where it joins [Rimrock](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/rimrock). ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.okemozone.com%2Fdaily%2F2026-01-02](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.okemozone.com%2Fdaily%2F2026-01-02) ## Keep reading [![Outrage - Trail of the Day](https://www.okemozone.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Outrage.jpeg?width=5395&height=4046&name=Outrage.jpeg) ### Thu, Apr 16: 15 trails (+1), ☁️ 61/78° ](https://www.okemozone.com/daily/2026-04-16) [![Sunset Strip - Trail of the Day](https://www.okemozone.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/IMG_2788.jpeg?width=5712&height=4284&name=IMG_2788.jpeg) ### Wed, Apr 15: 17 trails (-20), ☁️ 54/73° ](https://www.okemozone.com/daily/2026-04-15) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "OkemoZone", "url" : "https://www.okemozone.com/daily/author/okemozone" }, "dateModified" : "2026-01-02T12:00:58.418Z", "datePublished" : "2026-01-02T12:00:58.000Z", "headline" : "Fri, Jan 2: 67 trails (+4), ☁️ 6-19°", "image" : [ "https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Upper%20Wild%20Thing.jpeg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.okemozone.com/daily/2026-01-02", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/logos/okemozone.png" }, "name" : "OkemoZone" } } ```
