Currant Ridge

Currant Ridge provides a long journey around the ridge line, rising above the many basins that feed Currant Creek Reservoir. The southern start of Currant Ridge provides various dispersed campsites that might be helpful for those seeking a quieter spot away from reservoir traffic. During autumn, the entire area lights up with bright golden colors thanks to the vast aspen grove that spreads across the mountains.

Seasonal ruts and mud holes are possible, with one particular spot seemingly most prone to trouble (approximately 5 miles from the southern end of the trail). The most difficult part of the trail is a steep 0.5-mile section that climbs roughly 300 feet from Coleman Basin up to the ridge line. The terrain is not difficult by technical standards, but it is a loose rubble surface that could require 4WD to assist with traction. This section may provide some excitement for beginners, but trailers are not recommended.
