Location Information
Rocky Ridge Trail traverses Rocky Ridge with fine views of the Cascade Mountains for those who climb just above the trail to the ridgetop. The trail passes by the Rocky Ridge Shelter, built in the 1930's. From the shelter down to Castle Creek, the trail is steep and not currently maintained. Trail location presents a challenge for even the experienced hiker.
