Description
Find a break from the sun in Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park with this short jaunt through the wooded ravines. Starting from the junction with the Meyers Ranch Trail, follow the trail through a wooded ravine to climb the hillside. Eventually, the trail trades one ravine for the other, and a climb for a descent, as it makes its way through another scenic ravine to reach its end on the High Ridge Loop.
