Short gravel road that breaks away from Patterson Road at the upper entrance to Ridge and heads north to end abruptly at a wooden barricade. The barricade is there to keep people from proceeding to the site of a landslide that destroyed this road's original connection to the top of Alpha. Since then Alpha was rerouted to connect up to Ridge, and now this road isn't even on official OSU maps any more.

Access Info

This is the road at the upper trailhead of Ridge.
