Red Tape, received its name from all all the complex issues KMBC had to go through to be able to build the bridges and be able to open the trail.
Starts off in some nice jungle forest before long crossing a couple flood washed creeks (Bridged). It then sidles a hill (steep drop off in places) with a bit of a roller-coaster feel and tables built into the mix. Finishes off in open grasslands.
