Cow Creek Road 4415040

Trail Overview

From off of Little Bridge Creek trail, this nearly five-mile trail weaves and winds its way up Thompson Ridge, eventually ending atop a wide-open lookout spot. The trail begins as a spacious two-track and is fairly easy and non-technical for most of the way. Occasional erosion rut/gutter and mild rocky sections. Once the trail leaves the forested section and begins to really climb up the ridge, it briefly turns into a shelf road. The last mile or so the trail becomes a bit rougher with loose rocks, erosion damage, and a small steep grade to reach the top. 4WD would make the trek easier, although it's possible to do without. The surrounding views from up there are beautiful and expansive. The area is unmaintained (closed) in the winter and early spring months. No cell service.
