Trail Overview
This route takes you to the top of Midway Ridge. The trail starts as a nice wide road. The road is maintained very well and follows a mid-slope road. The trail narrows at the first creek crossing and winds through the forest. At this point, it's still easy for a side-by-side or quad. A dirt bike is more challenging but doable. The first real challenge of this trail is the hill climb up to the top of Midway Ridge. A stock side-by-side can do it. It's only difficult on a dirt bike. Once on the top of the ridge, take some time to look around on a clear day. The rest of the trail takes you along the ridge to another convergence of trails and the picnic bench.
