Skyline Ridge Trail
A challenging route through stunning Alpine Terrain
The Skyline Ridge Trail travels up the center ridge in the Upper Shannon Creek watershed. It is a direct line up to the alpine between The copilot and Goat Ridge and encompasses some of the most beautiful terrain in the area. Skyline Ridge Trail follows an old road bed until it becomes a single track trail before reaching the alpine. The trail passes by several alpine ponds and offers views of Goat Ridge, the granite dome of Mount Habrich, the high alpine peaks around Sky Pilot Mountain as well as Howe Sound far below. Once above the treeline, people should expect the last 10-15 trail tags to alternate between traditional trail tags and painted tags on rocks.
