About This Trail

Imported description

This trail follows the Bridger Ridge, and has a lot of elevation gain. It is also exposed for most of the hike. There is a dramatic ridgeline which goes on and on and on. It is not for the faint hearted, the views are good, and the feeling is good the end of the run or hike. You can run this race on your own or with a pack, since it's an annual race.
