Description

A hike on top of Red Plateau from the Red Plateau Forest Service Road

  • meet at the Pimple parking area (2.7 km past the Frederick Road) on the Tranquille – Criss Creek Road (by the junction with the Red Plateau FSR) at 9:30 (map below)
  • although KHC is not organizing carpooling, members can organize their own rides;  I will send out an email to all registrants prior to the date, with email addresses provided
  • we will drive up the FSR for 4.5 km (high clearance)
  • hike on tracks out to the Red Plateau Escarpment Rim, then along the Dewdrop Traverse Trail
  • lunch at a viewpoint
  • another good area to get lost (and it has happened before) so please stick with the leader
  • return by another route to create a 10 km loop
  • mosquitoes may be busy
  • this is backcountry so take the usual precautions
  • hydration will be important
  • since we have 5 hike leaders, we can run this as 2 staggered groups
