About This Trail

Imported description

One of the trails that can be hiked to Ben Lomond and the Willard Peaks is called the North Skyline Trail. The elevation gains are gradual and after a few miles you will hold the ridge of the remaining trail. Hikers, bikers, trail motorcycles and horsemen can all be found on the North Skyline Trail. The trail is used by skiers and snowshoers in the winter. You can see most of the valley from the ridge line on this trail. It's not possible to carry enough water because there's no water sources.
