Ridge Trail
If you’re looking to access one of the best views Massanutten has to offer via your own two feet, look no further than the Massanutten Ridge Trail. This 4.5-mile, moderately trafficked out-and-back, offers stellar views of the nearby ski area and the mountains surrounding Massanutten.
- Difficulty | Moderate (Blue Blazes) - 2.25 miles (each way)
- Beginning at the wooden steps above the Overlook, this scenic trail winds along Massanutten’s rough and rocky ridge and joins the access road near the ski slopes. The trail’s turnaround point features a magnificent panorama overlooking our ski slopes.
- Please Note: On October 31, 2026 - January 2, 2027, all trails on the Western Slope (including Kaylor's Knob & Ridge Trail) will be closed from sunrise to sunset, Monday through Saturday, due to hunting season. Trails will be open for biking and hiking on Sundays only, beginning October 31, 2026.
- Trailhead Access: Start at the parking lot at the end of Del Webb Drive.
For an added bonus, consider timing your hike with a sunrise or a sunset and be sure to come prepared with sturdy hiking boots and plenty of water!
