Start of the Tadpole Ridge Trail.

Signal Peak visible through the trees top left.

Recent burn area, but the trail was in good shape.

The trail follows a dirt road for a hundred feet or so.

Continuing along the Tadpole Ridge Trail as it ascends to the ridge.

Looking back along the Tadpole Ridge Trail, Signal Peak visible to the southeast.

Tadpole Ridge's eastern stretch visible ahead. The trail wraps around the rock outcropping.

View toward Signal Peak.

Tadpole Ridge.

The trail wraps around the right side of the rock outcropping, rarely actually going on the ridgeline itself.

Another bump along Tadpole Ridge that the trail avoids.


Looking back, the trail staying to the northern slope of Tadpole Ridge rather than the ridge crest.




Short section along the ridge crest.


A view looking back along Tadpole Ridge.

Tadpole Ridge high point visible ahead.

Looking back.

Final push along the ridgeline.

After a short jaunt through a thicker section of forest, I left the Tadpole Ridge Trail and ascended just off the trail to the high point.
