Ridge Loop is a short, moderate singletrack mountain biking route on Bureau of Land Management land in the Tucson Field Office, about 0.19 miles long. It's an out-and-back trail with a total climb of about 9 feet, so the elevation change is minimal, but the trail is described as a technical ride that tests intermediate riders on classic southwestern singletrack. The cooler months are the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tucson show November highs around 76°F with lows near 47°F, while June and July average highs of about 102°F. The trail sits close to several other routes. Old Indian Path is a hike about 0.1 mile away, and Coyote Loop and North Trail are mountain biking routes at the same distance. Far West Trail is about 0.2 mile off.
