The Verdugo Motorway provides a "main route" along the ridgeline from where it travels north from the Beaudry South Motorway. The long fire road connects with a number of tower installations, fire roads, and trails. The terrain it follows is notably rolling, but the grades remain mild and the views are excellent.
