Description
The Hansen Ridge Trail is a nearly four-mile singletrack trail that was constructed by converting sections of two old logging roads and linking them together with a section of new trail. This pleasant trail climbs from the parking area to wind up and across Hansen Ridge before heading back toward the south to finish at the Hansen Ridge Road Connector, which can be used to create a tidy loop. Hikeers will find great views and seasonal wildflowers as they travel.
