Pine Ridge Trailhead.

Starting along the Pine Ridge Trail.

View back as the trail heads up the ridge.

Ascending toward Pine Ridge, currently out of frame.

View back, a bit higher up.

Pine Ridge comes into view (far left). Cuyamaca Peak also seen right of center.

Pine Ridge High Point seen top left.

The trail usually stays just right or left of the crest, keeping to a gradual ascent grade. Cuyamaca Peak seen top right. I'll be in the valley on the right later to complete the loop.

View back.

Another shot back,

Cuyamaca Peak seen top right.

Pine Ridge High Point seen ahead.

A short spurt of bushwhacking to reach the true high point.

Pine Ridge High Point summit, view west.

I descended the north side of the trail.

It led into a valley on the northeast side of Pine Ridge High Point.

Cuyamaca Peak in the distance.

Junction with the fire road I'd take back to the Green Valley Campground.

Open meadows along the fire road.

Back at the trailhead, I headed down to Green Valley Falls.

Green Valley Falls on the left.
