Red Mountain Trail #159

Features Views

The trail begins at a dirt parking lot about a quarter mile off highway 180. The first mile follows a gradually inclined, wide path among juniper and piñon. Occasional signs mark the correct path. You then scale a six foot wooden ladder and follow a dry stream bed alongside a hill of dark volcanic mineral crystals into the amphitheater of the cinder cone, surrounded by hoodoos. Return by the same path.
