The hike will go up to Fox Hollow and then continue on the Ridgeline Trail to Blanton Road (then back). This one barely makes the standard for difficult. The elevation gain is spread out. One year we watched deer while having a lunch break at the Blanton trailhead.

Trip Report

A good bit of exercise on the Ridgeline trail for everyone. It had been a rainy week but the sun came out as we started our hike. We got spread out a bit with this large group but everyone was able to go at their own pace. At each junction the first person to arrive would wait until the next hiker showed up before continuing. That person would then wait for another person and so on. All of us gathered for lunch at Blanton and then faced the truth of out and back hikes. You must return! On the return it rained a little and then it hailed! Sun, rain, or hail made no difference to this hearty group
