Ridge Trail Spur

This 0.2-mile connector is brief enough that most hikers cover it in minutes, typically linking a main route to a ridgeline or viewpoint. The "spur" designation suggests it branches off rather than loops, meaning you'll likely retrace your steps on the return. At under a quarter mile, it's the kind of short add-on that rarely factors into your total hiking time but may deliver an overlook or trail junction worth the detour.
