The Red Hill via Red Hollow GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

I parked at the Red Hollow Trailhead and followed the well-maintained mountain biking trail north to the eastern saddle of The Red Hill. From here, I left the trail and headed west into the bouldery-looking sandstone slope. While the scrambling wasn't too difficult, I did have to pull a bunch of Class 2/3 moves to make it to the summit of The Red Hill. The views are nice to the west, overlooking Cedar City, Utah. This is a great little local hike or an add-on if you're in the area.
