Route Description for Ripple Ridge Trail
The trail up to the top of Ripple Ridge offers an amazing hiking experience due to the spectacular mountain views and minimal effort required to access them. The trail sets out from the parking lot next to Bridal Lake and crosses over the highway to the south. From here, follow the forest service road for roughly 2.3 km and take the trail to the west that will take you up the ridge.
Making your way along the rugged ridge, you will notice that the tree cover will begin to thin out and you will start to traverse some rockier terrain. As the route heads south along this more exposed section of trail, you will eventually reach the viewpoint at the summit of Lightning Strike. Take some time to enjoy the breathtaking 360° views that stretch across Stagleap Provincial Park to the north and the Canada-United States border to the south before heading back down the trail to return to the parking lot.
