--------------------------------------
This was a loop hike utilizing the following trails:
1. Wild Horse Trail
2. Red Mountain Rush
3. Sunset Ridge
4. Twisted Sister
5. Back onto Wild Horse Trail
We initially wanted to do this in the opposite direction, but missed our turn off at the intersection of Twisted Sister to Sunset Ridge. This intersection is not marked, and can be missed if you are not careful. The intersection at the top of the mountain (Red Mountain Rush - Sunset Ridge) is marked. The problem is that Sunset Ridge is rated a double black diamond, so this section of the trial is best tackled going uphill, so I would recommend you doing the route in the opposite direction that we did, although doing it in the direction we did wasn't terrible, but was a little tricky in some places.
Generally a good trail, but same warnings as all the trails in this area, there are lots of bikes, so this loop is best tackled during a weekday when traffic is low, or done as a night hike.
I'll upload the gps trail, and reverse it so it shows you the direction you should head, it also includes intersection points so you don't miss your turn. |
