Sauntering Around Westwood Ridge

This hike will begin from Witchcraft Lake. We will head out on to the Outer Bypass Trail connecting with the Saddle and Rusty Cable trails and continuing our wanderings along southeastern side of the ridge eventually connecting to the Growler Trail and then making our way up to Westwood Ridge for a bit of a view before returning via Brother 5 and Basket Case trails. This is a moderate hike, some steady climbing at times, some short steep sections but not overly difficult.
