Substantial erosion near slide areas.

From the intersection with Elwha River Trail, the Humes Ranch / Long Ridge Trail branches off downhill to the southeast. This trail descends gently across a hillside through dense forest towards the Elwha River. Before reaching the river valley bottom, pass the Humes Ranch Meadow Connector and the eastern end of the Geyser Valley Trail. Cross Antelope Creek and Idaho Creek then arrive at the Elwha River on a scenic suspension bridge high over the water. This is where the Humes Ranch / Long Ridge Trail ends and the Long Ridge Trail begins.
