A relatively flat and easy trail except for the beginning when you climb up the ridge. Most of the climbing is at the beginning and once you make it to the top you'll get an incredible overview of this area of Carlsbad Caverns National Park. As the name of the trail suggest you'll be hiking a ridgeline that's slightly floating above everything around you.
