Description

At 2.2 miles long, the Red Trail is the longest trail in the park. This loop starts and ends from the southern end of the park near the park office, and has some ups and downs along the way to keep things interesting. The Red Trail shares a short, steep climb with the Blue Trail before looping back to the south and west to complete the loop.
