High Ridge Trail is the blue line, while Cascade Trail and Fork Ridge Trail are both in black and Lone Oak Trail in orange.

Trail Overview

Located in Buffalo Mountain Park, this trail connects the main trails to the Tip-Top highpoint.

How to get there

Refer to the “How to get there” instructions on the Buffalo Mountain Park page. The trail is a short spur off the main white-blazed Cascade Trail.

Route Description

The blue-blazed High Ridge Trail runs along the ridgeline from a junction with Cascade Trail over to Tip-Top. Double red blazes are also observed which mark the park's southern boundary with the national forest. The trail rises over a lower peak before making a steep climb up to Tip-Top.

Typical Conditions

This trail was impacted by the 2008 wildfire, thus can be lined with small regrowth and briars along the ridgeline. Someone in January 2012 cut through several small blowdowns, thus the path was clear. The tread is rocky with chunks of sandstone.

Fees, Permits, etc.

No fees or permits required.
