 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Many trees down. The section of Whitehorse Ledge Trail where it runs at the base of the cliff is the worst, with large pines down on the trail. Runner up was Bryce Path on the steep section where some down trees obscured the trail. There is no sign where the Red Ridge Link diverges from the Whitehorse Ledge Trail. The Red Ridge Link sign is planted several hundred meters further along the Whitehorse Ledge Trail and points away from Red Ridge Trail. The sign looks like it's been in that wrong location for quite some time |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Cathedral Ledge is fenced to prevent falls but there is some exposure on Whitehorse so consider leashing them on a leash for safety. |

 | Comments: |
No snow and pretty dry trails. The Red Ridge Link has extremely faint orange blazes with the occasional brighter orange or yellow blaze and was a bit challenging to follow. I was not confident I was on it until I reached the Red Ridge Trail where the link was signed. |
