TOURS
Hike Tours - 2 available per day
Ridges offers hikes during a morning 9am-12pm session or a 1pm to 4pm afternoon session. All hikes will begin from the cabin located in the center of the property on a spring fed pond.

Every season brings new natural wonders to the hikes: flowers, fruits, foliage, and fauna follow their patterns for you to experience and enjoy.
