Trail Overview

Per its name, this route follows Bear Ridge between Skyline Drive and Scofield Lake. The trail has dual character; coming east from Skyline Drive, the trail abruptly changes from a fairly smooth dirt road to a narrower rocky trail. At about the halfway point, there's a "High Clearance 4WD recommended" sign, and the trail pretty much becomes a rocky notch cut in the side of the ridge until it starts descending toward the Scofield side. Great trail with great views, but may be higher than its rating with any kind of precipitation. There is open-range sheep and cattle grazing through this area, so don't be surprised to see evidence of it.
