Looking down the Red Hill Trail
Route: Red Hill Trail
Was hoping the footbed would soften up in the afternoon sun, but the footing was pretty awkward for the first few tenths of a mile due to the thaw and refreeze - lots of shallow slush postholes. Above the chain, the footbed was a bit better, but still frozen granular and ice. I was able to bareboot for the ascent, but opted for Microspikes for the descent. Skipped the gully and instead took the snowmobile trail down low, which had much better footing. Snowpack down low is maybe 2-3", increasing to maybe 6-10" up high. Signs of boot use of Red Hill Loop Trail and Eagle Cliff Trail.
