Trail Overview

West View is a 1.3-mile out-and-back route that climbs to the top of West Church Ridge. The single-lane road winds through forested terrain, with some brush encroachment narrowing the corridor in places. A few rocky sections near the top add some variety to the drive, but are easily passable for most vehicles. The route ends at a small clearing containing communications equipment, likely associated with radio or cellular infrastructure. The clearing also provides a break from the surrounding forest and a sense of being on top of the ridge. West View is open April 16th through December 24th to highway legal vehicles.

Difficulty

West View is generally an easier route, with the primary challenges being mild brush encroachment and a few rocky sections near the summit. Most high-clearance vehicles should have little difficulty reaching the end of the trail, and the rocky areas are easily navigated with careful tire placement. Wider vehicles may encounter minor pinstriping where vegetation narrows the road. Weather conditions can increase difficulty slightly, particularly where rocky or gravel surfaces become slick. As with most trails in the area, bringing a chainsaw or equipment to clear fallen trees is recommended.
