This is also called the Jeanne Golay trail in honor of Glenwoods' Olympic Cyclist. This is 3 miles all gradual uphill, maintained dirt road ending at the cross. This is the hill where Glenwoods first ski area was located and you are basically going up the old service road. Then when they decided they needed more snow they moved it higher on the mountain, before creating Sunlight Ski area. You can still see the remnants of the old ski lift. The switchbacks offer beautiful views of Glenwood Springs and the Raoring Fork Valley. For good riders you can follow the single track down the ridge of the mountain. Look for the signs. This is a tight single track and is difficult to clean it. Red Mountain is popular with hikers and dogs. To cet here cross the Roaring Fork on 8th Street Bridge and turn right at the light. Then take your first left and then veer to the right uphill at the next right and go around the gate. A lot of early summer bear encounters and minor car traffic as Adventure Paragliding Uses this as their base.
