Johnson Ridge Trail

Trail Overview

This 7-mile climb begins in dense forest on a well-maintained forest service road. As the trail climbs, occasional breaks in the trees reveal glimpses of the valley below. Starting at mile 4, the road condition becomes somewhat degraded with mild rutting, narrow, brushy sections, and some areas of rockfall waiting to assault an unsuspecting sidewall. Grouse are abundant in the area, and black bears have also been sighted. There are a few dispersed camping opportunities along the route. Climbing higher, the views begin to open up, and you can see miles in every direction. The trail ends at the Johnson Ridge trailhead, a fairly popular trail, so expect to see some traffic.
