Blue Ridge (#20)
Access this trail via the North Supply Trailhead. The trail starts as an old logging roadbed. Immediately leaving the Blue Ride Mountain Bike Trail, it climbs in elevation quite quickly. It leaves the old road bed and hugs the mountainside as a narrow foot trail. The trail eventually connects to the Wolverine Trail (#129). The trail takes a sharp turn to the right at this intersection, heading north on a much gentler grade, all the way to the upper end of the Blue Ridge Mountain Bike Trail. After this intersection, the trail leaves the trees and continues in elevation, winding up across the alpine into the Never Summer Wilderness. Passing along the southwest face of Blue Ridge, the trail eventually crosses over and drops quickly to the intersection with the Cascade Mountain Trail and the terminus of this trail. The trail is 3.5 miles one way.
