Crist Ridge Trail

Dogs Unknown

From intersection with Chappells Field Trail, the Crist Ridge Trail descends from the Chappells Field Trail to the paved road directly across from the connector to the Rock-n-Ridge trails and the Mowery Hollow Picnic Area.

The descent of this trail starts as a fairly gradual 5% grade for the first 1.5 miles with a few rocks and some very brief uphills. After that, the trail transitions to a smoother with 11% drop for the last 1/2 mile featuring banked turns. Crist Ridge Trail is also the easiest (though not the shortest) way to climb the mountain.
