First Ridge Spur Trail

This short spur branches off a main route to reach First Ridge, covering just over half a mile. The brief distance makes it a quick side trip for those hiking the broader trail network in the area. At 0.6 miles, it's typically an out-and-back addition that adds about twenty minutes to your hiking day.
