I have hiked this loop a number of times over the last 20 years. I am returning in Sept. 2008, anxious to get back after more than 15 years. I echo the comments regarding biodiversity. Starting near Red Creek campground,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you go through some woods and then sods and pine/spruce forests with some clearings along the way. The pine forests are very peaceful with a number of deer trails. Whatever you do, try not to go off-trail and hike up to the north to the reservoir (which was sort of a surreal camping spot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however). It's a messy trip. The worst part is getting lost temporarily until finding a trail lower on the mtn along the east ridge and designated as a trail on the map. It eventually leads back to a road, but that trail has many, many, trees felled just above the path to block access. Try carrying a heavy backpack climbing over large tree branching for a couple/few miles. Back to the CORRECT trail... eventually you will cross Red Creek upstream and continue on the trail although its possible to follow the Creek down to the junction. The hike along the stream rather than along the trail is not that exciting in this section (ask compared to the section downstream from the junction). I have camped, as many have, at this stream junction. The trail crosses the stream and follows a ridge to the west of Red Creek. You can't really see Red Creek from the trail, which is a shame, although the trail is nice too. It doesn't compare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, to hiking along the stream where you will be rewarded with a series of beautiful waterfalls with extending shelves creating caverns underneath and swimming holes and other sights to enjoy. I have spent many hours photographing along the Red Creek in this section and feel very fortunate to have taken the stream less traveled as it is so much more beautiful than the trail. You eventually meet the trail crossing to go back up the hill to the road. It's best to have two cars to avoid the hike back to Red Creek Campground.
