This is a series of short trails and loops collectively named the Ridgway Area Trails (RAT). The loops consist of both singletrack and dirt road, and there are constantly new trails being added. Riding the whole network is currently about 10 miles and 800 vertical feet. This is a very fun ride. You can either drive to the trailhead which is just about 1/4 mile up the Owl Creek Pass Road, or you can pedal right out of Ridgeway along the river trail. There are many short loops that are fun to explore. There are constantly new trails being added.
Great mountain biking trail system. It can be hiked but is designed for biking so be careful. These were well designed and allow for some great descents. Lots of cactus so be prepared to repair flats.
Great for mountain biking. Can link together several trails for a fun loop
Trails interconnect with one another. Gets kind of confusing but it’s a blast.
Hiked trail early morning, good hike, overview of lake, wildlife along trail, rather easy hike.
Nice trail, we hiked but there are lots of bikers and would be very fun bike trail. Easy hike, good views. Great day!
