Hello Jobe, I have hiked the Bradford Ridge trail twice and I have not had any issues getting to the top of the ridge just downstream of the springs but I don't think I am following the correct trail to get down from the ridge to the PCT trail. It has been over a year since I have tried it so my memory is not that good. I just remember coming out on a promitory type point where there was some wire fence and metal poles. I took a trail to the right of the point heading in the general direction of the springs and it put me in a steep narrow ravine that headed towards the creek. It did not seem to have a well defined trail and it was not very easy to walk.

When you come out on that point with the wire fence and metal poles, do you know which direction is best to get down off the ridge and then later on get back up it? I was wondering if I should have looked for a trail heading downstream (or to the left of the point) from the springs to get me down to the creek and then hiked back up the PCT towards the springs, which I hear has less of an incline.

Thanks.
