About This Trail
Runs from Ridgeway Avenue to Ashland Avenue.
The climbing is back-loaded — the 2.7 miles stay comparatively easy before most of the 23 ft of gain arrives late.
Starting near Park No. 579 - Ridgeway Trailhead, the route passes Park No. 567 around mile 2.0 before reaching Bloomingdale Trail at mile 2.8. It also runs through Julia de Burgos Park, Churchill Field Park, and Park No. 512. Marked facilities along the route include drinking water.
