RED MOUNTAIN - EAST LOOP

TRAIL DETAILS

One of the most scenic trails of the event, Red Mountain enjoys completely unexpected views that almost remind you of the Rubicon Trail in the High Sierras. This is the slightly more difficult of the 2 Red Mountain trails.  There is no bypass through the Commando Corner, the most notable obstacle. The trail ascends the mountain into some high elevations into some incredible pine populated areas with an old deserted cabin as the perfect area to take a lunch break. There are a couple areas that get tight, and pinstriping is likely.  2 lockers are recommended, but doable with 1.
