Monarch Ridge Trail begins just off of the intersection of North Monarch Road and Feathermint Drive will lead you to Hidden Crest Park. Hike north on this easy trail adjacent to a quiet housing development. This meandering, earthen trail winds along the hillside and wildlife including squirrels, jackrabbits, and cows may be seen along the way. Views of the nearby hills, valleys and a few vistas complete the viewable scenery. The elevation changes mostly at the beginning and end of the trail, with a fairly flat trek otherwise. The trail also connects with the Star Jasmine Trail that will take you to Hidden Crest Park. This trail is best for walking, running, cycling.
