Route: Red Hill Trail

Trail has top to bottom snow cover, well packed by boot traffic. Light traction or snowshoes may help, but aren't needed at the moment (though light traction might be helpful when temperatures are below freezing). Loop trail is not well broken out and would probably warrant snowshoes.

A southern vista has been cleared out at some point in recent months, allowing for views without climbing the tower. The main trail has been marked with green plastic diamonds as well.
