    Jordanelle Ridge Trail System

This is the old Coyote Loop Trail. It's gains a lot of elevation but it does it pretty slowly so it's not a bad climb. It's a better climb then descent. It's rocky in places with some tight switchbacks. It accesses the Stone Giant's Trail, Red Ledges and the Coyote Loop.
