Description:
Challenge yourself with a hike to the top of the iconic Hickory Ski Area! The trail will follow the ski area trails out to Ridge Run. The hike up the Ridge Run trail has beautiful eastern views of Warrensburg and mountains surrounding Lake George.

The trail is a mostly gradual grade with some steep sections. It is wide, level, and comprised of grass, sand and loose cobble, and some flat rock surfaces.
If you would like to hike but prefer something easier, you are welcome to do a self guided hike on any of our hiking trails.
