Walking

Amongst Giants

Located on ridge high above Price Canyon, this nature trail is named after the tall bristlecone pine trees that flank the trail. The trail follows an old road to Ford Ridge communication towers, and is an easy way to enjoy the rugged canyon country. 

Bristlecone Ridge is a popular way to spend a summer day as the area is cool and shady.  So pack a picnic and head out – it is just half an hour from downtown Price.
