A hike on top of Red Plateau, accessed by the Red Plateau Forest Service Road
- Meet at the Pimple parking area (link to info) on the Tranquille – Criss Creek Road at 9:00 am to carpool or convoy.
- The trailhead is 4.5 km up the Red Plateau FSR on a gravel road (possibly high clearance).
- Hike a loop route on the plateau with a side trip out to Castle Butte; one off-trail section to link the loop routes.
- Most of the trail is moderate, but the short section up Castle Butte is a scramble route.
