Description

From the Church Camp trail, turn right and roll through sagebrush in an old burn area. In ~1/4 mile, you'll intersect with Red Ridge Road, which is clearly marked with a "Trail" sign indicating a right turn. Turn right and descend the road for a short distance before turning left on a doubletrack road again marked with a "Trail" sign.

Follow the doubletrack into the Whispering Pines Bible Camp and make a hard left just after passing the first cabin on your left. Ascend the doubletrack road and after the first switchback, look for a singletrack trail heading off to the left. The trail will take you back to the start of the loop. The Hiking Project mobile app can come in handy for route finding with this trail.

Tried to enter via driving directions using Red Ridge rd but there is a gate with keypad access 100’ from 203 so I could not enter.
