We had the day off for the Veteran's Day holiday, so we were able to do a nice hike midweek. We did the Up and Down at Red Butte. The Up and Down is similar to the Up and Over, where we hike to the ridge but then we come back down the same side. Still some good elevation gain up to the ridge and a faster down back to the car. The down was steeper than we recalled, but still a straight shot. We only saw a couple people out on the trail. It was a cold and windy day, so a great training day for the Tasmanian winds. I stuck two 5 pound weights in my pack to make it heavier. It certainly changes the way the pack feels.
