[Trail] West Ridge Trail [Length (one way) (miles)] 7.0 [Elevation Change (feet)] 640 [Trail Description] 
The longest trail in the state park begins at Elk Prairie in the south and climbs quite steeply to the top of the thickly forested ridge separating Prairie Creek valley from the smaller ravines bordering the Pacific Ocean. It follows the ridge northwards, staying fairly level for several miles before a slight descent to junctions with the Butler Creek and Friendship Ridge routes. Other paths link with the main road, so various shorter loop hikes are possible.
