Trail Overview

Start Red Dirt Road from Red Dirt Reservoir above the lake and work your way north. It's a well-maintained gravel road that has lots of wildlife to watch out for, including grouse, black bear, deer, and elk. Following Route 19 north along the ridgeline, the views will open up to the east with long vistas on clear days. Lots of camping and hiking opportunities are along this route.
