Oracle Ridge is beautiful today, flowers, green, big views and sections of great ridges.
As the Catalina Camp Trail descends the temperature starts to soar, but soon enough One Park Place appears and the trees along the East Fork of the Cañada del Oro provide some relief from the sun – water in the East Fork of the CDO is a surprise and we sit, relax and enjoy.
The loop in this direction ends with the steep climb up the stunning Red Ridge Trail.
The Oracle Ridge – Catalina Camp – Red Ridge loop is approximately 8.6 miles with 2500′ of cumulative elevation gain/loss.
