Ridgecrest is a nice winding little singletrack connection for those days where you just don’t feel like grunting up the Central Ridge waterbars. Ridgecrest is popular with hikers, as it offers nice views of downtown and forms easy loops with the other Military Reserve trails.

Ridgecrest was solid frozen mud this morning before dawn. Military Reserve is definitely still muddy and should be avoided.
