Ridge Trail is a 6.2-mile out-and-back mountain biking route in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Pleasant Grove Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the ride starts at a low point of 8,335 feet before climbing to a high point of 9,438 feet, a total elevation gain of 1,096 feet. The trail is rated moderate. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Silver Lake Brighton weather station put July highs around 72°F with lows near 47°F. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run a bit cooler. East Ridge Trail lies just 0.1 mile away. Samps Hollow Overlook Road is 1.3 miles off, and Mary Ellen's Gulch offers climbing at 3.4 miles. Granite Flat (Utah) campground is about 4 miles away.
