This trail connects Tronsen Ridge Trail to the Red Hill Loop near the Mission Ridge trailhead. Epic views of Mission Ridge, excellent descending, some steep ups and downs but definitely worth working your way to this backcountry gem. Thanks to motos for working to keep these trails clear. (Closed to motorized use October 15 through June 15)

      Hiked up to the intersection of Tronsen Ridge and Red Hill trail yesterday, 10/3/17, from the Sand Creek trail head. Spectacular views, gorgeous cloudless skies, no smoke odors. Left Sand Creek at 11:40 AM got back 6:45 PM. My hat is off to any mountain biker who can take on this route up hill.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
