East Ridge Trail
What people say
A steeper ridge route linking major viewpoints above the canyon with expansive city views and demanding grades. Enter from a currently open gate and confirm the ridge route on the official map before leaving the central fire road. Heat, eroded steps, loose soil, and exposed edges make this a more demanding option. The West Trail closure does not authorize shortcuts.
