The Mountain Ridge Trail climbs steadily alongside the Mount Jefferson Park Road and is a great way to get in quite a bit more elevation up to the Mount Jefferson Picnic Area and the summit of the namesake mountain itself. This section of trail ascends up some switchbacks from the start of the trail right at the park entrance by the sign, to Sunrise Point, a popular spot on the road for catching, you guessed it, sunrises!
