I've only seen Ridge Road from a distance (Red Pocks Open Space). It is only two blocks from my RV but it is steep and I could not see over the first crest. Since It was steep, I had a plan to walk from the RV to the Ute Trading Post (very near) which is at one of the entrances of Garden of the Gods. From there we would find a trail to take us up to the crest road and then walk down the roads. Found a wonderful trail but had to loop around on some ridges as there was a deep valley I was not aware of.

Cutting through Garden of the Gods offers so many varied views. |
Click on any picture to enlarge. My hiking bud coming up the Strausenback Trail which was one of three we had to link to get up to the crest road. |

Looking across to Red Rocks where the Ridge Road heads to. |
I think it was a Mountain Jay but not as bright. Probably a female. |

Looking into Manitou Springs from Ridge Road. |
Almost to the bottom. And then two blocks to the RV. |
