Key Stats for the Ruddy Hill Trail - 714
About
A short side trail off the PCT just north of the Horseshoe Saddle Trail 712 junction with the PCT. Climbs to the summit of Ruddy Hill. Offers wonderful views. This makes a nice side trip for PCT hikers or a half day adventure for Horseshoe Lake campers. A short and exceptionally steep trail. A nice day when combined with a trip on the Gibson Lake Trail 708.
The route of the PCT on the map is a little off. The start of the Ruddy Hill trail is right on the PCT. The PCT swings west to the base of Ruddy Hill and then continues north.
Was called Red Hill for it’s red cinder crown.
Directions
Trail is not directly accessible from a road. Closest access is via the Horseshoe Saddle trail and then a short trip north on the PCT. Please see those trail pages for directions.
