Description
From the west end, the Ridgeline Trail starts from the Javelina Canyon Trail. The trail follows the ridge on the northern side of Pima Canyon, passing over a few hilltops along the way. The trail is not terribly tough to navigate, but it is steep and rocky in some spots. After traversing the ridgeline, a final descent will bring you to the trail's end in a junction with the Beverly Canyon Trail.
