This awesome ridgeline begins with doubletrack just north of Briery Branch Gap and descends east towards the Hone Quarry Recreation Area. This ridge has several trail intersections. First, Mines Run Trail breaks south back towards Route 257. Second, a steep descent down Big Hollow Trail after which the trail ends at the Heartbreak Trail intersection which has some of the rockiest terrain to the West of Harrisonburg.

Did this trail in conjunction with the Big Hollow and Heartbreak Trails. It was snowy and the ridge up top was beautiful, but not many great views.
