Red Wing Mine

Red Wing Mine is an easy, short hike on natural trail in the Ukonom Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest, about 2.8 miles long and rising about 200 feet from a low point of 2,120 feet to a high of 2,280 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is out and back. It works well as a quick outing or as a stop on a longer day in the district. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the Cecilville weather station, about 23 miles away, run from highs near 75°F in May to about 89°F in September. Midsummer is hot, with July highs around 96°F, while winter nights dip near freezing. The trail is open year round, and bikes and horses are both allowed. The closest neighbors are Somes Mountain Trail at about 1.1 miles and Salmon River Trail at 1.2 miles. Oak Bottom Campground sits about 1.5 miles away, and Wooley Creek is roughly 2.2 miles off.
