Hello Fellow Hikers,
Okay it’s that time again, time to hike The Ridge! dun dun dun dun..lol I know so dramatic. Okay for those of you who have not experienced this hike be prepared to workout! I know your thinking really 9.1 miles with a 1850 elevation gain? We have done much harder…But the first 3 miles of this hike you’re elevation gain will be 1600! Now before you roll your eyes and move onto another event y’all are faster than me on Tapo Canyon! So if I got this so do you! 😎 Now for the trail…This trail will start out with all the hard parts up front. After your first 3 miles it is smooth sailing. This trail is not very popular (The Ridge part) so it may have some overgrowth so pants are suggested. Oh and don’t get me started on the views! Will be doing the trail this time from Las Llajas to the Ridge then back to Las Llajas. You do not need to be a fast hiker as many people (like me) take several breather break to the top. But you need to be a strong hiker so sorry no beginners on this hike. I have attached the AllTrails link for directions, pics, and stats…https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/las-llajas-canyon-and-ridge-loop

And last….The Organizer, Co Organizer, Assistant Organizers and Event hosts in this group are not professional guides. The function of the Organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who signs up for an Event is responsible for his or her own safety and the safety of his or her guest. Remember this is your hike. All responsibilities are of your own once you attend. Please be aware of your limit. During outdoor activity you can encounter bodily injury, snake bites, sunburn, overheating, etc. This is not within our control and we ask that you are prepared for any of the above once you sign up for an Event. If you need to take several breaks (not counting quick breather breaks) and stops throughout a hike, the hike maybe too much for your ability. Please check each event for miles, elevation gain, and difficulty rating. The higher the elevation gain means more incline and less leveled off sections. We offer all levels of hikes from moderate to hard to advanced only. We encourage everyone to not give up work on your core by joining our easier moderate Events and then joining our harder hikes once you are ready. 😊
