Description
This trail starts at the parking lot at the top of Mary's peak parking lot or at the orange gate on Woods Creek Road. Many people climb Woods Creek road to East Ridge Trail and then down North Ridge Trail, but it can be done as an out-and-back. A true Oregon shared-use gem of a trail. Please be aware of other users and that they may be around blind corners.
