Redstreak Loop

A short Douglas-fir loop with more climbing than its mileage suggests and a quiet bench viewpoint.

Route overview

Complete the signed circuit from the campground loop roads and pause at the official viewpoint bench.

Redstreak Loop rises and falls through dry interior forest above the campground. The compact circuit works well for hikers seeking a brief workout without committing to a long mountain objective.
