Scurvy Ridge Trail #1329.5

Dogs Leashed

The 17 miles of trails around Cape Mountain were designed to be shared by horses and runners. Thus, for foot traffic, these trails are wide, gently-graded, brush free, and easy to follow. There are trail maps at the major trail junctions (these are set high so someone on a horse can read them—runners may have to stretch to read them). Just remember to practice good trail etiquette and yield the trail to horses.

The Scurvy Ridge Trail is a continuation of the Princess Tasha Trail #1329.4 from the Olson Viewpoint. This transition is not obvious, so look for a wooden post with "Scurvy Ridge" on it. Along the trail, you'll pass a reconstruction of a Native American shelter (a hitsi) and, in about 1.2 miles from the Princess Tasha, you'll come to a junction with the Berry Creek Trail #1329.8 which goes downhill from here.

Continuing on the Scurvy Ridge Trail, you'll soon pass the Horse Creek Trailhead and then a junction with the Horseshoe Lane Trail #1329.6. The Scurvy Trail continues for about another mile to its end at a junction with the west end of the Horseshoe Lane Trail #1329.6 and the Blue Horizon Loop Trail #1329.7. You can use the Horseshoe Lane Trail to make a loop back to the Horse Creek Trailhead.
