Redbud Loop

May is starting to warm up but we’ll get this adventure in the bag before noon. There’s a perfect “rock window” for you to make a pose! We’ll also be able to peer deep into Big Chico Creek Canyon.
Redbud Loop
Difficulty Level: Moderate to Difficult
Distance: Approximately 3 miles round trip.
Elevation Gain: Approximately 525 feet.
Time: Approximately 2 hours.
This route will explore the flank of North Rim along the Upper Trail and force a climb up the steep Redbud Trail. You’ll be rewarded with amazing views deeper into Upper Park to compliment the views from Monkey Face, which we’ll visit on the way back on this loop.
Trail Hazards: Uneven, rocky terrain. Steep climb at the top of the Redbud Trail which may require hands for balance & support. Steep drop-offs.
