Looking up the Red Hill Trail
Route: Red Hill Trail
Hiking in shoes instead of boots for the first time this year, I headed up to Red Hill. While there was little snow for the first five hundred or so vertical feet, it was still winter at the summit, with upwards of a foot of frozen granular and ice.
While the views to the south were strong, I opted to only climb two flights of stairs on the tower, due to the high wind gusts.
