Trail Overview
This ridge road blasts across the top of the ridge over the Yukon Saddle. It has long straight always with epic views, a dense forest section, an old burned-out section that's regrowing well, and a western-facing section that's hot as heck. There are some severe pot craters. Not potholes, craters! Keep an eye out for these monsters hiding in the shadows. Otherwise, it's pretty easy, and the views are fantastic. If you're looking for camp, check out some of the little fingers that lead away from the trail. You may get lucky. 2 bars LTE at the top fades to none in the valley.
