UPDATED 6/11/24 at mile 2 and mile 2.6. About a half mile has been added to the red loop due to trail changes. This Loop is most excellent. Nearly all fun and fast with some sections of technical thrown in to keep you on your toes. After splitting from Yellow, the loop stays high, winding its way through trees and rocks. As you pop out of the woods, you’ll find yourself crossing near the Camp store, but don’t get distracted by the modern amenities of snack machines and laundry, because after you cross the parking lot, you’ll be heading right back into the woods to climb to the highest point on the Red Loop. Mile 3 is the turning point that brings you ever closer to the beach-front property you’ve always dreamed of. For the next three and a half miles you get a front row seat to awesome - weaving amongst the trees, catching glimpses of the lake. This section will make you feel like Daniel Day-Lewis running through the forest, hatchet in hand. Well, actually don’t run with a hatchet, but the long dark pony tail would be nice, or a loin cloth. Either way the moonlight shimmering off the lake, that’s what it’s all about.
