Green Point Ridge Loop Hike
49 Photos
Green Point Ridge
The trail where photos were taken is colored red.
The hike to Green Point Ridge begins at the trail head at Wyeth Campground
The trail crosses a small stream before it begins the climb
This is the same trail to North Lake up Wyeth Ridge
The trail is extremely steep... so take lots of water
And take lots of film or digital media
There are too many switchbacks to count... but I'm glad they are there!
A brief level place to catch your breath... or change your mind????

Trailside springs in case you need to filler up... take a filter system
3 miles and 3000 feet later, and what a view... if you can see it through your sweat!

The top of Wyeth Ridge... 4 miles, 4000 feet... tired yet??
The junction to Green Point Ridge... bear right and continue climbing... yup, climbing...
After climbing another 400 feet or so, things level off for a while
Here is the junction to the trail to Nick Eaton Ridge... don't take it
One of the main reasons to take this hike... a view of Mt Defiance and North Lake
