Trail Overview

Racetrack Ridge (F.S. 167) is located in the Mark Twain National Forest. Located just a ways south of the Glade Top area. Primarily a rocky route with several water crossings, some mud holes, ledges, and elevation changes. Several areas are subject to further erosion as the creek and runoff run down the trail. There are great views on top of the ridge and plenty of campsites lining the western half of the trail.
