Ridge Road

A rolling trail that runs along a broad, open ridgeline north of the Crossroads junction, from which you can connect to the Lower Loop Trail. 
Length: 1.3 miles, one way
Elevation gain: 487 ft

Lower Loop

The Lower Loop trail traverses open ridgelines above Nahahum Canyon. It is steeper at its north end and more gently graded on the south end.
Length: 1.8 mi, plus 0.5 mi on Ridge Road to complete the loop.
Elevation gain: 431 ft.
 

Sunrise & Little Bear

Head south from the Crossroads junction and veer right at the fork to climb to the Saddle, where you can easily access both high points of the Preserve. South of the Saddle, a short and steep singletrack trail climbs through forest to Sunrise, where you can find open views of the Cascade and Wenatchee Mountains. Northwest of the Saddle, you can reach Little Bear, with views of the Cascade Mountains and the Entiat Divide. From Little Bear, you can continue southwest on the Spring Canyon Loop if you like.
Length: 0.6 mi from Crossroads to Saddle, 0.2 mi from Saddle to Sunrise, 0.3 mi from Saddle to Little Bear
Elevation gain: 322 ft from Crossroads to Saddle, 125 ft from Saddle to Sunrise, 117 ft from Saddle to Little Bear

Spring Canyon Loop

This dynamic trail meanders through a dryland Douglas-fir and Ponderosa forest with views along the way in every direction. From the Crossroads, head towards the Saddle and then to the top of Little Bear and follow the map route to Spring Canyon Loop. You’ll descend to the southwest along a ridge crest, in a counter-clockwise circle, eventually returning to the Crossroads.
Length: 3.5 mi as a complete loop starting from and returning to the Crossroads.
Elevation gain: 700 ft.
