Cougar Ridge

Inspiration for this design comes from my love of hiking. Cougar Ridge is one of my favorite trails at Daley Ranch in Escondido, CA. The textured lace pattern reminds me of the rocky trails, and the cables represent the intertwining foliage bordering the trail. With the combination of lace, texture and cables, it is sure to keep your interest!
