Red Butte Loop

 

Another go to hike for us is the Red Butte Loop. It is a quick 2 mile loop on the lower trail and return on the upper trail.  This is a nice hike for after work since it is close and quick.  We can usually do it in less than an hour.  This is probably the last after work hike for us this year. Daylight savings starts next week and it will be dark by 5:30 p.m.  We are enjoying a particularly warm fall this year and tonight was a beautiful evening for a hike.
