The highpoint of Horse Ridge has a historic name called Burnt Cabin Knob, not shown on any maps although it is just above Burnt Cabin Summit, a saddle with a 4-way junction. Burnt Cabin Knob was reported as a 1930s lookout camp at this location. And that is about all we know for now.
Access and Route:
I do not know the road system access for this area but there appeared to be public access once the snow was gone. An ATV trail gets pretty close to the summit, then it is a short off-trail hike up to the summit. There are very few views but the prominence is 832 feet, more than nearby Huckleberry Mountain.
