The Red Loop at Little River is roughly 3.5 miles of singletrack with about 125 feet of elevation change that can be ridden in both directions. The climbs are gradual but a good workout and the trail is technical enough to require some skill in order to maintain good flow. There are also several optional lines which parallel the primary trail that offer greater challenges and more advanced features.
