River Ridge Trail.
This trail offers one of my favorite views of the Fraser Valley.
The trail opened in 2016 and connects County Road 804 (a.k.a. Meadowridge Hill) to the Fraser River Trail.
It’s a beautiful winding route with a minimal grade.
The best part about it is, you only feel like you’re kind of dying when you get to the top...instead of on your deathbed...like you do when you climb up the road.
Built by Melinda McWilliams, a 68-year-old resident of Grand County, this trail is the perfect scenic route.
