Description

Prior to recent trail construction efforts, along with Lane of Pain, Ridge Connector provided a key link within the then renegade and now legitimate, Emerald Mountain trail network.

Ridge Connector, as the name implies runs the ridge of Emerald Mountain connecting a variety of trails. The doubletrack traverses the ridgeline quite steeply at times. It can be bypassed by utilizing the Root Canal trail.

I'm not sure the profile on this one is correct - there was at least one crazy steep incline.
