Looking up the Red Hill Trail Route: Red Hill Trail After two days of before sunrise to after sunset work, I wanted to stretch my legs. While the skies were increasingly cloudy, the forecast called for clearing around 5:00. Initially, I had planned to head down to the Belknaps. In route, though, I decided to go for a 360 degree viewpoint, as to perhaps get potential colors to the east if there was no sunset. The Red Hill Trail was a well packed snow sidewalk - no traction or snowshoes were needed. Though cold and windy, I hung out on the summit fire tower almost half an hour. While there wasn't much in way of a sunset, there were some nicely colored lenticular clouds to the east over the Sandwich Range. Sure enough, the clouds moved out about half an hour after sunset, but alas too late for an sort of display.
