Ridgetop Trail, page 2
Trail Notes
The Park kiosk map is upside down! North is at the bottom of the page. That might not bother you, but it drove me crazy until I finally figured it out.
The trail was shaded with tree cover.
The Shortcut Trail was not a shortcut by much, but it was a nice alternative to hiking the old logging road.
The Shortcut is normally used on the return from the "turn around". The main trail (old road) climbs a bit to a knob and the Shortcut avoids the climb.
The trail was easy to follow with blazes and signs. The trail was well maintained. A sign tells you when to turn around.
