Along the Red Mountain Trail view toward the eroded hoodoos on the peak's east face.

The trail nears the hoodoos.

A ladder to get over an old wall.

At the base of the hoodoos.

The trail leads into a narrow slot.

A stiff move leads up the slot.

End of the short slot, in a nice cozy chamber.

Just out of the slot, I located this sort of social trail leading up to the middle ridge on Red Mountain's east face. I'd recommend maybe doing a less direct ascent - it's steep and unpleasant.

Looking down into the hoodoos.

Close-up into the hoodoos.

Steep Class 2 cinder.

On the middle ridge's crest, view toward Red Mountain.

View toward Humphreys Peak.

Approaching the end of the cinder before starting amongst the eroded stubby hoodoos. It's steeper than it looks here, but the route leads to the center of this photo and up into the trees.

Close-up into the hoodoos again. They were quite cool.

Looking back from amongst the stubby hoodoos.

Steep Class 2+ to the trees above.

Above the eroded stuff on easier terrain to the summit of Red Mountain.

Another shot toward Humpreys Peak as I approach the summit.

Red Mountain summit area.

Heading down the southern ridge on the east face.


Looking back up at Red Mountain.

Easy hiking down. The trees get a bit thicker than this toward the bottom, but not by much.

Looking back toward Red Mountain on my way back to the car.
