Buffalo Ridge Road

Trail Overview

This trail is mostly dirt with some rock garden sections and minor wash/ruts. The trail steadily climbs to the top of a ridge with a 14 percent pitch at one point, but once you make it to the top of the ridge, the views are stunning. This trail ends at a fence row, and becomes the Skyline Trail, which States "No Motorized Use". At the top, you will have a view of Mt Adams, Mt Ranier, and over to the peaks of the Alpine Lakes. There was a mud hole about midway with an alternate/bypass around the mud, and a couple of sections that were very rocky and bumpy. Cellphone service was decent, and the top was extremely windy, but it offers a very scenic camping location, as camping is allowed along this route within 100 feet of the trail. A Discover Pass is required to travel in this area, as it is state-owned land. High Clearance 4x4 recommended with a good set of tires.
