Description

From the west end, the Ridgeline Trail starts from the Javelina Canyon Trail. The trail follows the ridge on the northern side of Pima Canyon, passing over a few hilltops along the way. The trail is not terribly tough to navigate, but it is steep and rocky in some spots. After traversing the ridgeline, a final descent will bring you to the trail's end in a junction with the Beverly Canyon Trail.

From Javelina Trailhead UP the Ridgeline Trail to view north and east of the Phoenix Valley. It's worth the steep climb.

From the top of the trail you have beautiful views into the valley.
