Trail Overview
Ridgeline is a newer trail that punches above its weight in both elevation and scenery. Starting in a wash, the route climbs steadily up a ridgeline, gaining height quickly and offering expansive 360-degree views of the valleys and mountain ranges below. The surface is a mix of loose gravel over hard-packed sand and dirt. While not overly technical, the traction can be sketchy in spots--especially during the ascent. Once you reach the top, the trail delivers a dramatic perspective of the surrounding desert landscape that's well worth the climb. It's a great route for off-roaders looking to mix light challenge with big payoff views.

Difficulty
Loose gravel and elevation gain require good tires and a bit of throttle control. High clearance recommended. 4WD preferred, especially if conditions are dry and loose.
