The East Branch of the PRT represents a more swoopy, cross-country feel of the Peterson Ridge Trail System. There is a great log ride hiding on the east branch, along with great rock outcroppings and scenic viewpoints.<br><br>The trail leaves straight from town and is a net ascent as it trends south and then west. There are many "ladder rung" trails that connect this trail to its western half, the PRT West. Each cutoff is a potential bailout or loop creator. If you want to ride the Peterson Ridge Trail in its entirety, check out the Peterson Ridge Trail Outer Loop for more details. <br><br>Check out <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sisterstrails.com/Newspaper_PRIDGE_0215WEB.pdf">this map for a complete overview of the trail system.</a>
