Ridge Runner Loop

Trail Overview

Just south of the Red Canyon Rd exit on Hwy 28, there is a strip of BLM land between the highway and Red Canyon. This trail runs along the ridge, high above the highway, and then circles to the Red Canyon side. To complete the loop, you must go down through a wash (which was dry in August) and then up a steep trail along the powerline. This land is used for cattle grazing, so if the gates are closed when you arrive, close them after you go through. Some parts of the trail are easy dirt, in other areas there are loose rocks on the trail. But nothing about it is hard.

Difficulty

The potential for the wash to have water will be greater in early spring, but by mid summer it was dry. The steepness of the climb to get back to the powerline trail to complete the loop qualifies as a 3, but it's not hard.
