Route Description for Ridley Creek Trail
Ridley Creek Trail is an adventurous hike with a bit of everything involved: creek crossings, downed trees, steep climbs, and awesome views. This route is a good fit for intermediate or better hikers as you’ll need to climb over downed trees, complete steep sections, and cross a creek without a formal bridge.
From the trailhead, hike east to the creek. There’s no bridge here, but a helpful hiker previously roped together some logs to form a makeshift bridge. Be careful as you cross. You’ll hike across the end of the valley and climb the valley wall on your left. This is a steep climb with lots of switchbacks.
Once you’re atop the wall, hike ahead towards Cathedral Crag. The trail terminated at a T-junction, but you can use the connecting trails to keep exploring if you want. Otherwise, retrace your steps back to the trailhead.
