Billie Horn led this hike.

8 hikers met before sunup. After the group photo, we began a gradual climb in an easterly direction. This is an out and back trail with a short loop part way up. The Ridgeline Trail could be described as a roller coaster of ups and downs. It seems like there is as much uphill coming back as there is going out and yet we do top out 837' higher.

The trails here are fairly new, well maintained and in places appear to be planned by landscapers. One hiker described it “like walking in a landscaper model display”.

We had a cooler morning to hike, but on the way back we were all happy when a nice breeze came up to escort us to the parking area.

Since the sun is later coming up, the drives to our chosen trailheads have been in darkness lately. So next week we will meet at 6:30 at Spur Cross. More info later.
