  • Elevation Gain: 1,800 ft

We'll do a short but steep hike up to the ridge up one drainage and down the other with great views (Rico...suave!). I have not done this hike. <1 mi car shuttle between start and finish. I will bring my small dog, let me know if you are bringing your leashed doggie.

I will be camping in the area and have no to limited cell service before the hike.

TBD at the dirt lot east of 145 north of Rico, at the Hermosa Park Road #578 intersection. High clearance vehicles recommended to get to trailhead.
