Red Cap Hole

Red Cap Hole is a 6-mile out-and-back hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, part of the Orleans Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest in California. The trail climbs from about 5,180 feet to about 6,130 feet, a gain of 1,108 feet, and is rated hard. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is on natural surface. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. The hike is open year-round, and the surrounding wilderness makes it a destination for a full day in the backcountry. The trail is close to several other outings. Mill Creek Lakes Loop is less than a mile away, and Long Prairie and Crogan Hole are both within 2 miles. Paddlers can head to Domingo Creek, about 2.3 miles off.
