Lake Ridge Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,833 feet, and that is about average. Lake Ridge Trail is 9 miles long it's an average length backpacking trail. This region does get very dry sometimes, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go. Lake Ridge Trail is quite long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. Some parts of this backpacking trail are much higher up than other parts of the backpacking trail, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can trek it just one way. You should count on this walk taking about 8 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that.
