Once a skid trail, Northridge provides cross-country access to the northwest part of the park. Ride it as a loop with Sidewinder and Trillium.

      Upper Northridge trail there is a cedar tree very low to the ground, it hangs over the trail. if you are looking down at the trail and have a helmet on with visor, you can miss this and do a proper head injury to yourself.
      I would say it is about 6 feet above the trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
